We are excited to offer dates to learn about our '26-'27 Project SEARCH site at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch and Community Medical Center in Toms River. Project SEARCH is a ten-month training program that provides real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent-living skills to help young people with disabilities make successful transitions to competitive employment. I've attached a flyer for both our locations for our upcoming Information Sessions. This is a wonderful opportunity for educators and parents to join and learn about the program. Thanks for any help you can give us in spreading the word about Project SEARCH!

"We have a Care Closet for my school district that originally started with just hygiene products. It has since expanded to holding cleaning supplies, some food, and clothing based on students’ needs. Right now, we are in desperate need of pants, specifically for girls. We are looking for adult sizes XS-2XL, but S, M, and L are needed the most. If you are cleaning out closets and have something that you would be willing to donate, please let me know and I can make arrangements to pickup."
