NCC Founder Receives Humanitarian Award

Two remarkable men. Two mission-driven organizations. A common thread of dedication, compassion and service to those most in need.

That was the theme of the Circle of Life Children’s Center’s inaugural Concert Gala Dinner on Nov. 16, 2016, where Monsignor William J. Linder was honored with the Humanitarian Award.

An elegant affair, the gala was held at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston and benefited children with life-threatening illnesses. Circle of Life Founder Dr. Jim Oleske, a pioneer in the field of pediatric AIDS treatment, is a longtime friend of Monsignor Linder and was honored that same evening with the Founder’s Award.

Support New Community: Help Us Touch
More Lives

Dear Friends of New Community,

Have you ever wondered, “How many lives does New Community touch?” Earlier this year, we launched a project to find out.

Dubbed as Project Green Thumb, New Community’s department leaders tracked how many lives we touched as a community development corporation serving a vast range of needs by counting the number of people served during the month of August 2016.

One of the lives that New Community has impacted over the years is 22-year-old Steed Amegbor of Irvington. Steed is currently studying at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. Raised by a single mother, Steed was born in Togo in West Africa and came to the United States during his junior year of high school. Through the financial assistance of the Monsignor William J. Linder Scholarship, he was able to enroll at St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark and receive a rigorous education to prepare him for college.
