During the month of December, we enjoy our annual holiday dinner together and offer a donation to a charity of our choosing. In 2018 we chose to donate back to The Field of Dreams in support of the project started by our guest speaker from September, Christian Kane. We donated $350.00 to the project to support the placement of a bench at the The Field of Dreams Park in Toms River,that will contain a plaque saying that it is from the Women of BPWSOC. Additionally, some of our members and friends made separate donations as well either toward or direct.
Mr. Kane’s personal life experiences and his child’s tragic accident have led him to be inspired to help other families with people with special needs, children and adults. We are proud to offer our support to his mission and can’t wait to visit the final product once the park is completed. Please visit the website to learn more. https://tomsriverfieldofdreams.com/
Donations towards the purchase of the bench can be made on our website through the “Donate” button or you are welcome to write a check to BPWSOC and mail it to us or bring it to our upcoming holiday dinner (12/11/18). We appreciate your generosity and are looking forward to supporting Mr. Kane’s very valuable project.

Ocean's Harbor House
Harbor House was founded in 1985 to create a place that runaway, homeless and abused youth could go where they would be safe, free from abuse and victimization. A place that would also work with caring parents and family members to mediate crisis and rediscover the bonds of affection that are the cornerstone of any loving, capable family. On August 8, 1988 the Harbor House Youth Shelter opened its doors.
The cornerstone of the agency is their Emergency Youth Shelter designed to meet the immediate needs of youth ages, 10-19. Services provided include:
--Temporary Housing
--Individual, Group, & Family Counseling
--Crisis Intervention Services
--Food & Clothing
--Medical Attention
--Parent & Teen Mediation
--Case Management
--Advocacy & Referral Services
--Drug & Alcohol Counseling
All services are free, voluntary, and confidential. Services are available to ALL youth and families in the community. All staff are qualified counselors trained in crisis intervention.
Penny has contacted Harbor House and was sent the attached list of "Wish List" items that the kids asked for. You will note from this list that it includes items that we and our children take for granted. But for these kids, these items are luxuries. At all BPWSOC meetings, we will accept any items on the list or you are always encouraged and welcome to drop off any items directly at Harbor House. The Administrative Office is located at 931 Fischer Boulevard, Unit 1, Bellcrest Plaza, Toms River, NJ 08754.
