We’re heading into the holiday season, a time for giving, but also a time when many New Jersey families are feeling more strain than ever. With rising costs, housing pressures, and uncertainty around SNAP benefits, The Salvation Army is stepping up to meet growing needs across the state.

Joining us now is Heather Green, Senior Director of Community Engagement for The Salvation Army New Jersey Division. Heather works directly with communities across the state to connect families with essential resources, from food assistance to shelter and beyond.
