Catholic Charities, Diocese Trenton provides essential services to more than 100,000 New Jersey residents every year. Its services include basic needs like food, clothing and shelter plus specialized services such as drug treatment, mental health and legal support. Every day, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, opens its doors to people from all backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities throughout Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean Counties.

“We’re very grateful to all the Reilly Financial Group employees who take the time to come out and volunteer with Catholic Charities,” said Mary Pettrow, Catholic Charities spokesperson. “The firm has a long tradition of supporting Catholic Charities and we thank them for their support. Without the generosity of local volunteers like these, we would not be able to provide all the critical community services we do.”

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.
