We welcome your new and exciting ideas and we are excited to help create a special and meaningful way for you or your group to make a difference in the lives of the at-risk babies, children and families we serve.

BRINGING THE MAGIC OF MOBILITY TO THOSE IN NEED…Our KINSHIP Families.
We are inviting all of you to be their heroes for them – any support you can give towards raising money for a van would be greatly appreciated. Every donation helps!
KINSHIP PROGRAM
For children unable to remain with their parents, often the safest and most reassuring environment for them is with their caring grandparents or other extended family members whom they know, love and trust. Through our Kinship programs, we help grandparents and other relatives who have undertaken the responsibility of raising their kin children find resources for medical coverage, housing, child care, educational issues, legal issues, financial support and family support. Click here to find out more about our Kinship program and the need for transportation. To learn more about our families in the program and check out our Kinship Video
Formula for Hope Baby Bottle Drive
Your spare change could mean the world to a baby in need. Just fill a CHSofNJ baby bottle with spare coins, extra cash, or even checks as an individual or as part of a larger group. Your donations will help provide cribs, bottles, diapers, clothing, medical equipment, pediatric care, and birth parent counseling services for the at-risk babies we serve. Your support will help a child have the best possible foundation for a happy, healthy future!
