AS A SUPPLEMENT TO EXISTING STABILIZATION ACTIVITIES, FPE PARTNERED WITH CIRCLES USA TO LAUNCH THE FIRST CIRCLES CHAPTER IN NEW JERSEY IN LATE 2022. THE CIRCLES PROGRAM IS A RADICAL SHIFT IN HOW WE ADDRESS POVERTY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WE BELIEVE THAT HUMAN CONNECTION, NOT ONLY VITAL TO OUR SPIRITS, HAS THE POWER TO PROFOUNDLY TRANSFORM OUR LIVES AND OUR COMMUNITIES. SOCIAL ISOLATION IS A GREAT PLAGUE OF MODERN TIMES, AND POVERTY IS, IN PART ONE OF ITS WORST BY-PRODUCTS. ACCORDING TO THE POVERTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 46% OF HOUSEHOLDS IN ESSEX COUNTY ARE LIVING WITH SOME FORM OF DEPRIVATION FROM CRITICAL LIFE NECESSATIES. OVERCOMING THIS REQUIRES MORE THAN JUST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT CIRCLES, WE FOCUS ON BUILDING A DEDICATED AND ORGANIZED COMMUNITY THAT WORKS TOGETHER. THIS INCLUDES LOCAL INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND CIVIC LEADERS COLLABORATING TO SHARE RESOURCES AND PROVIDE MUTUAL AID.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$763.3KPrevention And Diversion Assistance
