A huge thank you to our friends at PKF O'Connor Davies!

Earlier this month, a team of 20 dedicated volunteers from their Montvale office partnered with us for a meaningful Community Impact Project.

Their team assembled 100 “Birthday Bundles” filled with cake mix, frosting, balloons, a birthday card, and other party essentials. The bundles were distributed to local families served by the Franciscan Community Development Center in Fairview.

It was an inspiring morning dedicated to giving back, strengthening community ties, and bringing joy to our young Bergen County neighbors!

Big news for our CHEER Senior Services program! Thanks to a generous grant from the Englewood Community Chest, we’re able to continue supporting and connecting Bergen County’s seniors.

Our CHEER program matches isolated seniors with caring volunteers for weekly visits, help with grocery shopping and errands, and— above all— friendship. Just look at Tyra and Ellen!

Tyra moved to the area about a year ago without many local connections. Enter Ellen, a veteran volunteer for our VITA and Bergen READS programs, who happens to live in Tyra's town. Today, they are proof that a little community support goes a long way!

Thank you to The Community Chest for making matches like this possible! To learn more about them, visit their website at https://thecommunitychestebc.org/.

To request a CHEER match or to volunteer, visit the Senior Services page on our website (link in bio).

Six decades of service is built on the shoulders of incredible leaders. 🌟

As part of our 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee, we are introducing three honorees who embody the spirit of Bergen Volunteers. First up: our former CEO, Janet Sharma!

If you know Bergen County, you likely know Janet’s work. Under her tenure, our organization was named a Volunteer Center of Excellence by Points of Light. When Hurricane Sandy hit, she chaired the Bergen County VOAD, which managed a $10 million recovery project that became a model for long term recovery operations for the entire state.

Janet’s passion for community didn't stop when she retired from her CEO role in 2013. She continues to champion our county’s older adults as the coordinator of Age-Friendly Englewood and the Age-Friendly Bergen Roundtable. She also served on the Governor-appointed Age-Friendly Advisory Council, which helped inform the NJ Department of Human Service’s Blueprint for Aging in New Jersey that was adopted in 2024.

Janet’s civic leadership has been recognized by numerous organizations throughout Bergen County, and she has served on several boards. She currently serves on the NJ Governor’s Council on Volunteerism and is also a member, past-president and current treasurer of the Rotary Club of Englewood and treasurer of the Garden Club of Englewood.

Thank you Janet Sharma for anchoring our legacy and continuing to inspire us every day.

✨ Want to celebrate Janet with us at our 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee on November 19th? Tickets go on sale in September. Follow us for more exciting details to come!
