2025 - Beautiful next steps
This year we really got to the root of it! RFG spent the day landscaping the offices for the Integrated Behavioral Health Services team. They provide a range of services, including counseling, psychiatric care, case management, and support for people facing substance use disorders. The individuals cared for at this location enter a building that looks attractive and well cared for, as they deserve to feel seen and appreciated. And with fresh flowers, fresh mulch, and bright shiny walkways, they will! We are only as strong as the community we serve. "Every person has dignity, every person deserves care."
2024 - A clean community
In 2024, the RFG crew took to the community! Many hands made light work of sprucing up the local park. The team gathered to clear out trash, debris, and yard waste from a park to allow locals to enjoy a beautiful space and fresh air. Pictured here are three of the RFG volunteers: Chris, Bob K., and Bob S. in front of a pile of the full trash bags. It's days like these that make you fall back in love with the community you are a part of. Even one day of teammwork can make a years lasting impact on a space like this. Thank you to all who came out, and we hope this space is filled with joy!
2023 - A place to play
This year marked our 12th anniversary of the Reilly Financial Group Day of Caring! The RFG team spent the day at a local family shelter. This shelter provides a safe space for victims of domestic abuse, and the work they do is unbelievable. With a fully stocked kitchen, a sunny daycare center, private rooms and so much more, this shelter truly goes above and beyond. We were honored to give our time to these heroes. The team revamped the playground to ensure it was clean and safe, power washed the fence to provide an oasis to relax in, and organized the shed to allow the residents to enjoy various outdoor hobbies. All in all, a good days work. A huge thank you to Providence House for the good you provide.
2022 - Fall leaves & furry friends
In 2022, the RFG crew took to the yard for a fall day of raking and landscaping for the Catholic Charities office. It was such a privilege to be able to give back to those who give so much of themselves. We got to meet a few members of the team and give their office views a good sprucing! Plus, we were joined again by a very dear friend, the office dog Surf. He seemed very appreciative to have a yard to run in free of sticks, leaves, and litter. "It's always awesome to be able to spend time outside with your team, and even better when it's for a great cause and great people." commented Trish Reilly, marketing associate for the RFG team.
2021 - Getting to the heart
For the 10th Annual Day of Caring, the Reilly Financial Group team headed over to the heart of the operation. A trip to Red Bank, NJ let us lend a hand to the people who keep Catholic Charities NJ running. These are the true heroes who provide healthy food options for those at risk of hunger via food banks and pantries, schools, child and adult daycare centers, summer lunch programs, group dining settings, community farms and more. They also assist the homeless, those affected by addiction, families navigating immigration, and so much more. To make their lives a little easier, we spent the day cleaning out their offices, landscaping the yard, and giving lots of belly rubs to the service dog, Surf! After clearing out their parking lot and repairing some front porch wear and tear, it felt good to support those who support so many in New Jersey and beyond.
2020 - A year of caring
2020 will go down in the history books as a year like no other. Social distancing and lockdown mandates kept the annual RFG Day of Caring from happening as usual. However, the team decided to give in another way this year. RFG made a donation to HomeFront, a local non profit organization which helps thousands of families every year who are homeless or very low income get all the help they need to become self sufficient. HomeFront has a comprehensive services program and answers over 29,000 cries for help per year related to temporary shelter, housing, education, job training and placement, children’s programs, food and urgently needed items, and so much more. HomeFront is an investment in breaking the cycle of poverty locally that we would like to support this holiday season, when our community is harder hit than ever by the pandemic.
2019 - A fresh coat of paint
On August 30, 2019 members of the Reilly Financial Group participated in the team's annual Day of Caring with Catholic Charities. This year the team spent their time giving a fresh coat of paint to some of the rooms in the "Family Growth Ewing" location. Not only do these efforts help Catholic Charities with additional resources to help care for their various facilities, it's always a special time of the year for the team to bond while giving back to the community.
2018 - Sprucing up the place
This year's annual "Day of Giving" with Catholic Charities took place on Friday, August 10.

Year after year the hard work not only helps Catholic Charities improve the various locations where they serve their clients, but it also helps the team to continue to focus on being able to give back to the community.
2017 - A next step
On August 25 members of the Reilly Financial Group teamed with Catholic Charities to provide El Centro, a vital resource in a Spanish-speaking community, help to increase its impact and expand its offerings. El Centro, a BIA-accredited, multicultural program of Catholic Charities, recently acquired new office space. We joined in the effort to help El Centro prepare their new space for occupancy by painting, cleaning and organizing. This visit marked the sixth consecutive year our firm has hosted a volunteer day in support of Catholic Charities.

2016 – All hands on deck
