Bulletin Board Magazine [Volume 2 - 2025]

There are many smaller, more targeted outreach efforts by our members taking place every day that are making a huge impact. From student mentoring and OCVTS events to Collier Youth Services support by PWBGS, our members have proven time and again that giving back and building better communities is part of our DNA. All of us are in some way giving back to the community organizations that have touched our lives. One such organization that Padula Builders supports is the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Monmouth County. SBACNJ Associate member, Town & Country Design Studio, hosts the Annual Spirit of Giving event at their studio in Red Bank which benefits CASA. In the planning stages of its 9 year, this event collects gift bags for 100 children in the foster care system during the holidays and hosts a cocktail party for the CASA staff and advocates who give time all year long for the best interests of the children. Here is more information on the Spirit of Giving event. If you have an event or special organization you would like to inform our members of, email the details to gina@shorebuilders.org. th Building better communities is not only about the projects we build, but also about the relationships we build with the organizations around us and each other. Providing housing for the residents of New Jersey is important, but also providing career paths for our future leaders, volunteering time and materials to build houses for those in need, gathering donations for families experiencing difficult circumstances, and providing happier holiday experiences for children who would otherwise not know holiday cheer are acts that truly make the biggest difference. I would like to celebrate all our members for their amazing generosity, empathy, and dedication to building better communities.
