We'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Dickman Family of Industrial Building Group and the Petillo Family of Petillo Companies for their generous donations of two vans for Pillar Care's residential services. The vans were critically needed items during the Text for a Cause initiative of the 2024 Steps to Independence Celebration. They greatly improve our ability to support residents by providing transportation for medical visits, work, and recreational outings. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact in the lives of the residents!

Pillar Care's residential DSPs are the heartbeat of the group homes! They work diligently to make sure each resident feels welcome and comfortable in their home. They have fun with board games and snacks, or hit the town to go shopping or see a movie, always sharing lots of laughs. Thank you for being there for the residents!

We are so excited to welcome Mark to our Orange Group Home! Mark first joined us as a student of Pillar Elementary and recently received his diploma from Pillar High School. Mark is the second Pillar Schools alum to move into a Pillar group home. With our goal to provide lifelong support, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting Mark in his journey!

The ribbon has been cut for our new Wharton Group Home! It will soon open for four individuals with developmental disabilities to flourish and grow independently. We’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone that helped make this happen: New Jersey Department of Developmental Disabilities, New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, Morris County Office of Community Development, Mayor William Chegwidden and the Borough of Wharton, and John Crimi. Thank you as well to the Wharton Public Library for stopping by to share information about their programming!
