North Central Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NCJAR) is proud to announce the success of our 2025 Turkey Drive, an annual effort that continues to bring comfort, nourishment, and hope to families across Northern New Jersey. This year, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our members, NCJAR collected nearly 1,000 pounds of food to support military veterans in Paterson and St. James Social Services in Newark.
Each year, NCJAR’s Turkey Drive stands as a reminder of what can be accomplished when REALTORS® come together with a shared mission of service. The donations collected helped provide holiday meals and essential pantry items to individuals and families facing hardship. Beyond offering meals, this initiative reinforces our association’s ongoing commitment to giving back, strengthening neighborhoods, and uplifting the communities we are honored to serve.
“Our members continue to show up in meaningful ways,” said NCJAR CEO Bill Hanley. “Their generosity helps ensure that no family is forgotten during the holiday season.”
This year’s efforts were supported by dedicated volunteers, including NCJAR member Megan Bonanno, as well as Steven Cooper, NCJAR Affiliate Business Partner and St. James volunteer, who assisted in delivering donations to those most in need.
NCJAR extends its heartfelt appreciation to every member who contributed food, volunteered time, or helped spread the word. Your kindness continues to make a real and lasting impact across our region.
Together, we remain committed to serving our communities and ensuring that hope, compassion, and support reach every corner of North Central Jersey.
