Update From The Red Bank Woman’s Club

You probably know that we have worked with fellow nonprofit, The Woman’s Club of Red Bank, for many years. Last November we did a fundraiser for them, as well as hooking them up with one of our sponsors, Ocean First Bank, to get them a mini-grant which resulted in improvements to one of the rooms on the second floor of their home, the Anthony Reckless Estate.
