Pete’s Place works in collaboration with the Connecting NJ (formerly Central Intake) team, home visitation staff, community health workers, program staff and partner organizations, providing us with the exciting new opportunity to help our families in meaningful ways.

Named after a beloved CJFHC staff member, who passed away too soon, Pete’s Place, can assist with providing safe sleep environments; car seats, bike helmets, strollers and safety gates; period products; nursing essentials; and transportation vouchers in addition to food and clothing gift certificates. These new items are available to our clients and partners in Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer and Middlesex Counties by calling our Central Intake line. In Ocean and Monmouth Counties, partners are able to assist clients to submit requests. Connections to needed safety net social services, safe sleep education and car seat safety guidance are given to clients who make requests. In addition, CJFHC has been able to build/cement partnerships with community organizations and providers, who do not reliably refer to us, by meeting their clients and patients’ urgent needs in addition to increasing referrals to other social programs provided by our partners.

If you or someone you know needs a safe place for their baby to sleep or ride, diapers, nursing supplies, bike helmets, safety gates etc. please call 1- 888-551-6217
