The CARE Center of New Jersey

Welcome to The CARE Center of New Jersey

The CARE Center of New Jersey (CCNJ) is a 123,000-square foot facility in Rockaway, New Jersey, which will be renovated beginning the spring of 2024-25, and is a program of IMPACT Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The CARE Center draws its foundation from over 20 years of serving the needs of individuals and families hailing from local, regional and global communities. As you peruse our site, please consider donating and getting involved, as we seek to serve thousands of families through The CARE Center both virtually and in person.
