Grantee Spotlight: Children's Home Society of New Jersey (CHSOFNJ)
Funding from the Grunin Foundation will go towards the Community Doula Program in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey was founded in 1894 and its mission was to find loving families for children, to protect children from harm, and to help parents find better ways to be parents so they can keep their children.
The Community Doula Program
A community doula is a person in your community trained to provide emotional, physical and informational support to pregnant women and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
