“I can not say enough about this place it's guests and volunteers. Toni's has groceries, delivery service, lunch meals, backpack program and a Second Time Around Shop. As a sometimes volunteer I always feel welcomed and appreciated. It also is in a pretty setting.”
“Best bargain around for live music. Only $10.50 gets you an opening act and a headliner. Intimate setting so every general admission seat is a good one. Conviently located near Route 287 and Route 24. This time I loved the set by Ash & Eric from Wotcester, Mass.”

25 Park St, Montclair“The Montclair Y is awesome, it's very family friendly, it has 2 pools available, the family swim schedule isn't confusing or unavailable like other YMCAs. The sauna is at 160f vs other YMCAs at 140. Overall the Montclair Y is a cut above others in the area”
“I came to this organization by way of Proceed Inc 1126 Dickinson St Elizabeth NJ with a referral from Yair Gomez. He took my application and filled out the request and sent to Furniture Assist . A few weeks later I was given a date to bring a truck and use it to get the items I needed such as bed ,linens kitchen and living room items as well a lamps ,chairs and table. Dawson and his dedicated team of volunteers makes this such a valuable asset to the community it serves . Special thanks to Ms Friedman for her interest in what brought me to the establishment. Again thanks for your support.”

16-20 Jefferson Ave # 3, Elizabeth“I enrolled my child at this center after being a treating therapist. Having access to any daycare is always a plus, but it also allows you to see the behind the scenes that Many parents don’t get access to ( and I have seen a lot!) From day one after seeing how all of the providers knew the children’s names from all ages, the cleanliness, and the supportive learning environment. It was my first choice and I was thankful they had a space for her. I truly never have a worry during the day knowing she is there. Every single teacher is amazing but I have to give lots of credit to the director Miss. Lisa , the staff is incredible because she fosters an environment to make everyone enjoy their jobs. Super praise to Miss. Cathy as well because my baby loves her and she’s a very dramatic baby ?”

830 Morris Tpke Suite 401, Short Hills“I have been very blessed in the past few years of being able to qualify for the services of New Eyes. They are truly the unsung hero's of so many of us men, women and children, who do not have the ability to pay for something that would normally be way out of our own abilities to have. Not only that, they provide several choses in stylish frames. They don't look as though you got them from some sort of institutionalized place, this is especially important when improving self-esteem and confidence, I am sure for those who are trying to learn how to read for the first time, or for some who have felt that having poor sight has left them feeling that they aren't smart, or even causing them to feel unworthy of looking and feeling 100%. They quickly turn your dream of good eyesight and being able to keep up with everyone around you into a miracle in an amazingly short time. All you need to do is send off your information, and they turn it around in record time. Before long, so many things you didn't know, or see, or understand or believe...happen. Dreams really do come true! Thank you for your help and for my new eyes. Being a diabetic, and having to use bifocals, well that wasn't even a challenge for these folks. I don't know who they are, but I know they are angels!”

13 Trinity Pl, Montclair“Very positive energy and employees here. You have to be a multitasking Saint to accommodate the unfathomable number of people who are struggling these days. They’re doing it quite efficiently.”
“This is the coolest place around! Stop in and say hi to Donna. She'll make you feel like family and help you find what you're looking for. She's got a keen eye for quality stuff and it's just fun to walk around and check out all of the interesting and eclectic stuff she finds. Her staff is so friendly and helpful. They shlepped a piano we bought from her all the way around the back yard, in through the patio door because it wouldn't fit through the front door. They really didn't have to do that. Thank you so much guys - you're the best!! I'm a customer for life!”

“Our first time at UCPAC's Hamilton Stage was very positive: We saw high-level acting, singing, musicianship and stagecraft (via, Sondheim's "A Little Night Music") that was closer to Broadway than to community theater, at a reasonable price. We sat close up, in an easy, intimate venue, with free parking nearby. We'll be checking out other productions there, for sure.”
