Together with our friends at the Grunin Foundation and Townsquare Media, we salute these 40 extraordinary nonprofit heroes that have gone above and beyond to help and support our neighbors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their compassion, collaboration, and commitment to service makes them worthy of our Acts of Kindness special recognition. Each recipient received a $500 grant from OceanFirst Foundation and the Grunin Foundation and special promotion on Townsquare Media radio stations serving New Jersey. Our big thank you to each of the nominated organizations for helping our neighbors!
