New Providence, NJ —2020 has been a challenging year to say the least. Challenging, yet Our House has made it to the end of year when many nonprofits may not have been so lucky. “We are so lucky to have a community of supporters like no other! Throughout the year our families and friends of Our House supported when they could, and asked others to join in supporting Our House’s mission. For that we are eternally grateful,” shares Dawn Knill, Our House Foundation Director of Development.
