Long Valley Teen Honored for Volunteer Efforts With Homeless Solutions

Not a year goes by Abby Bauer isn’t honored for her volunteer work (and we have the data to prove it).

This time around, one of the organizations she’s been helping has returned the favor, and honored the Long Valley teen for her tremendous efforts.

At the 15th Annual Dream Builders’ Bash by Homeless Solutions, Inc. earlier this month, the Morristown-based nonprofit organization presented the Mary Van Kirk Volunteer Spirit Award to Bauer for her tremendous assistance to the organization.

In 2012, Bauer was honored with the Kohl’s Cares Award for Volunteerism. In 2013, She was able to secure $1,500 from the David Wright Foundation for Homeless Solutions, and in 2014, launched a foundation to fund recreation sports for underprivileged kids.

Homeless Solutions was founded in 1983 to shelter homeless and working poor in Morris County. It currently manages four shelter programs and a transitional housing program.
