Our recent Men at the Breakfast Table event was a huge success! With a full house, it was a fantastic opportunity for connection and inspiration.

Everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast, generously provided by JB Bakery in Burlington, NJ, Bagel Zone/Burlington, NJ, and New Life Driving School. A special highlight was the inspiring speech from New Life Driving School’s CEO Norma Paz and her husband about “never giving up,” which resonated with many attendees. Men at the Breakfast Table fosters community connection and encourages positive engagement among participants. By bringing together diverse individuals in a welcoming environment, we aim to create a space for meaningful interactions, sharing experiences, and building supportive relationships. Through events like this,
we strive to inspire positive change, ensuring that every voice is heard and every individual feels supported.

A heartfelt thank you to Cynthia, Yanira and Maurice for their dedication and hard work in making this event possible. Your efforts truly made a difference!

Here’s to more successful events and continued support for our community!

We are thrilled to share an inspiring story about Jason Garcia, who recently visited The Father Center with his wife and daughter, seeking opportunities to enhance their living situation. With determination and a clear goal in mind, Jason registered for our CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) training program, eager to pave the way for a better life for his family.

Through hard work and perseverance, Jason has achieved a significant milestone—his CDL certification! This accomplishment not only opens up new career opportunities for him but also brings hope and stability to his family.

Jason and his loved ones are incredibly grateful for the support they received from The Father Center. It’s heartwarming to see how our programs can make a real difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community.

Let’s celebrate Jason’s success and his commitment to building a brighter future! Together, we can continue to empower more individuals like him to reach their goals.

Timothy Rice-Pressley came to The Father Center of New Jersey with a clear vision for his future. After completing our Job Readiness class, he expressed his strong interest in pursuing his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). With prior experience in commercial vehicles, Timothy was eager to take the next step and officially earn his license.

Although there was a small delay with another driving school, Timothy’s determination never wavered. It was soon determined that JR Driving School would be the perfect fit for him. With the school’s flexible scheduling, Timothy was able to complete the coursework at his own pace, excelling both in the classroom and behind the wheel.

Today, we are proud to celebrate Timothy’s accomplishment in earning his CDL through JR Driving School, sponsored by The Father Center of New Jersey. Congratulations, Timothy, on this milestone achievement and the exciting opportunities it opens for your future!

This week, during DAF (Donor Advised Funds) Awareness Week, we are taking the opportunity to spotlight a handful of our innovative programs. When you make recurring, tax deductible contributions to The Father Center Center of New Jersey through your DAF, your continued support helps us provide free suits, haircuts and employment training to men, so that they are empowered to become better parents and live purposeful lives.

Today, we are shining a light on our popular Dress2Impress program, which allows us to provide men with suits for job interviews and business attire for their new roles. By equipping our participants with the professional attire to confidently begin their new roles, we prepare them for success in the workplace.
