This past weekend (March 9, 2024), in a heartwarming collaboration, North Central Jersey Association of Realtors (NCJAR) teamed up with local volunteers in Dover, NJ, for a critical mission: to install smoke alarms in homes throughout the community. This initiative is more than just about safety; it's about neighbors looking out for each other, and volunteers giving their time for a vital cause.
We cannot express enough gratitude to everyone involved—your dedication and hard work have made a significant difference in making our community a safer place to live. A huge thank you to the American Red Cross, NCJAR, and all the volunteers for your invaluable contribution. Together, we're not just installing devices; we're saving lives.
