Happenings at Bonnie Brae:
•Complete renovation of our New Brunswick transitional home so as to better serve eight of our older youth. These residents attend public school, work in the community, and volunteer for local non-profits.
• Bonnie Brae has become more environmentally conscious. Residents and staff serve together on the ESP, Environmental Sustainability Project, work group. Already the group has instituted campus wide recycling and has been busy educating us as to better ways to conserve our scarce natural resources.
•Bonnie Brae Builders continue to partner with Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity in the construction of nine homes for low income families. Our young men have been involved in working on the foundations, creating walls, digging drainage ditches, roofing, and plumbing work.
• More than doubled the number of Bonnie Brae alumni being served in our aftercare program. Thanks to a generous grant from The Kirby Foundation our staff have been providing needed services in former residents’ home communities.
•The Bonnie Brae Knights, our renowned drum corps, have performed at the Hackettstown St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Tartan Day Parade in New York City, and the Strawberry Festival in West Virginia.
•Our Bonnie Brae Ambassadors continue to provide valuable assistance to our non-profit community partners: Tunnel to Towers Run; The Matheny School, and Bridges Outreach.
