This Week on Your New Jersey we’re spotlighting two inspiring New Jerseyans who are turning compassion into action.
Host Lisa Marie Falbo sits down with Daniel Dermer, co-founder of Dermer Dreams, to talk about the 100 Yard Food Drive Challenge—an initiative that empowers students to lead food drives across the state, helping to feed families in need and build the next generation of community leaders. Then, we hear from Tiffany Marie DeSousa, founder of the CLCL Foundation, whose personal story of resilience has fueled a mission to support youth in crisis. From transitional housing to mental health services, her work is transforming lives in Ocean and Monmouth counties.
