YWCA Northern New Jersey

YWCA Northern New Jersey received a $100,000 grant for its program, Operation Sisterhood: Support for Servicewomen Returning to Civilian Life. Operation Sisterhood creates a safety net for female veterans as they return to civilian life. The program improves health and financial stability by removing obstacles to employment, offering childcare alternatives, and providing therapeutic services, while re-creating the camaraderie female veterans crave.

Sparta Community Food Pantry

Sparta Community Food Pantry received a $100,000 grant for their Wheels to Waste Less: Food Collection and Distribution Program. These funds will enable SCFP to purchase dedicated vehicles to optimize their food donation collection process, which will allow them to rescue an additional 400 TONS of healthier foods (an increase of 50%) for distribution to clients. 

Somerset Hills Learning Institute

Somerset Hills Learning Institute was awarded a $100,000 grant for their program, A Growing Need to Grow, at Three Meadows Farm. Three Meadows Farm is a hydroponic farm that provides job training and employment to individuals with autism. This grant will enable Somerset Hills to double capacity and enhance infrastructure at the farm, and increase inclusive, skill-building opportunities in a supportive, real-world workplace.

Freedom House

Freedom House was awarded a $100,000 grant to fund their program, The Family Afterward for Mothers and their Children. The Family Afterward program will serve five women in recovery and their children and create transformational change opportunities for mothers to learn to live sober, be custodians of their children, and become productive members of society. 

"Our giving circle empowers each member to give to others in a meaningful way, creating a strong team of female philanthropists. While working together effectively and collaboratively, we become a true community."

—Celeste Campos, President, Impact100 Garden State
