ComfortUs
Our Mission
To secure resources and raise awareness for women and children in homeless shelters.
Projects
ComfortUs has partnered with three organizations who have all agreed to accept support from our team. Together, we will help many women and children by providing them with supplies needed for everyday living.
Apostles House
Newark, New Jersey
The Apostles’ House is an organization devoted to providing comprehensive social services to homeless women and children and individuals or families at risk of homelessness in Newark and Essex County.  The Apostles’ House has been faithfully serving this community since 1982, and celebrated its 30th year of service in 2012.
Women Aware
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Women Aware envisions a society where individuals can live free from violence and injustice. They strive to promote the safety and self-sufficiency of individuals and families affected by domestic violence in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Women Aware has over 36 years’ experience providing services to survivors of domestic violence. They focus on practical skills while offering intensive case management, including safety planning, counseling, housing assistance, life skills, parenting education, creative arts therapy for children, advocacy, health education and screening, translation services and pastoral care.
Dina's Dwellings
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Dina's Dwellings is a project that contains affordable housing options for female victims of domestic violence and their children. Working together with Middlesex County's premier organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence, Women Aware, the Town Clock CDC hopes to make a meaningful difference in the lives of women. The First Reformed Church of New Brunswick will host Dina's Dwellings through a reconfiguration of the church's sanctuary. When the church was built in 1812, it was meant to hold a congregation of over one thousand. When Rutgers University was founded as Queen's College, Convocation was held at the First Reformed Church. Due to its importance in the past, the First Reformed Church is listed as a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. However, its congregation today must fight for relevance amidst a much smaller membership and increasing facility costs. Through the Town Clock CDC, Dina's Dwellings will let the church use its extra space to help a population in dire need of assistance.
