Family Resource Center The NCC Family Resource Center takes a holistic approach to services by linking those who seek assistance with resources and information that will empower them to improve the quality of their lives.
“I love the center. My oldest son has been here in Harmony House since he was four months old and he graduated two years ago,” said Janice Williams, a parent from the community who utilizes the center. “I still have two of my sons here. The teachers are doing a great job. They treat my children as their own children.”

Before Derek Culver entered New Community’s Culinary Arts program in February of 2011, he had been unemployed for three years. His last job was unloading containers at Port Newark. “Cooking has always been my passion and is what I really wanted to do,” he said. Since graduating from New Community’s culinary arts program last October, Culver has been employed by Gourmet Dining Services at Seton Hall University in South Orange. He has prepared everything from sauces to soups, meats like turkeys and roast beef, seafood like baked jerk tilapia, along with dishes like Mexican lasagna. Culver also makes many different kinds of pizza, ranging from egg plant to prime rib with pepper jack cheese and buffalo chicken with blue cheese. “He’s doing a great job. He’s very professional and responsible and has a great rapport with the students,” said Nancy Oliver, who oversees the dining operations. According to Culver, 45, the training he received at New Community has prepared him well for his current position. “Everything brings me back to NCC. It’s the same basic structure,” he said. “Everyday it’s something different and something new. That makes it fun.” Daniel Costello, the executive chef at Seton Hall, said Costello has adapted well to the fast-paced environment, noting the area of dining known as the ‘University Club’ serves some 1,600 lunch meals a day. “Derek is very good. He’s part of the team now,” he said.

Volunteer efforts are exceptionally important to New Community with volunteers contributing hundreds of thousands of hours worth of time every year. Every year, volunteer efforts account for work that would otherwise be incomplete. For example, volunteers provide friendship and support to residents of NCC’s Extended Care Facility and they offer help for the children attending New Community’s early learning centers. New Community logs over an estimated 400,000 volunteer hours annually!! Nationally, volunteers contribute more than 15 billion hours a year in volunteer time. Independent Sector, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, states that volunteer time is worth and estimated $272 billion.
Anyone interested in exploring volunteer opportunities with New Community should contact Rich Cammiere.
NCC thanks all of its generous volunteers who make such an important difference each and every day of the year.
