I have been lucky in life and a huge believer in giving back to the local community. I am particularly passionate about helping local food pantries and organizations that assist with the basic needs and food insecurity of those in Bergen County. I make a donation from every commission earned to one of my favorite local non-profits or a favorite charity of my buyer or seller.
Here is just a sampling of charities who have benefited. Click on their logo to learn more about them and for opportunities to volunteer or donate.
