NJ nonprofit supports dreams of those struggling in poverty [Video]

WEST DEPTFORD, New Jersey (WPVI) — The South Jersey Dream center brings resources to their local community, showing people that their dreams don’t end in poverty.

“My heart, as far as why I serve at the Dream Center, is because I know that this isn’t it for people…this isn’t where it ends,” said Executive Director, Natalie Fortunato.

Fortunato is someone who struggled with poverty in her past, and knows what it’s like to be in that situation.

“I know I was that person, not having enough money for groceries…and I know that it’s beautiful to know that there’s people that will help you through that hard time,” said Fortunato.

By providing resources to local agencies and holding registered curbside pickups at their warehouse, the goals for this organization go beyond her dreams.

“We’re the ones who connect the people who have, whether it be businesses, individuals, with the people who need it,” said Fortunato.
