How We Build Strong Communities?
Allies in Caring builds strong communities by fostering inclusivity through events like the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, offering access to a summer camp for underprivileged kids, and numerous other programs.

Community Coalitions
We work to build strong communities and create an all-inclusive culture where everyone can recognize their power and purpose. AIC has co-initiated two cross-sector coalitions: The Hammonton Health Coalition and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Coalition of South Jersey. A Community Coalition establishes and builds relationships within a community where better ideas and outcomes can be achieved together.
Its mission is to help residents improve their mental and physical health by implementing creative programs that recognize and take advantage of Hammonton’s unique social, economic, and natural resources.
Connectors are the heart of the Hammonton Health Coalition as they are the bridge to connect the underrepresented communities, share their stories, and close the gap.
Too many members of our deaf and hard-of-hearing community struggle to connect with others and get the information they need about opportunities and services vital to their quality of life.
We co-initiated the South Jersey Deaf & Hard of Hearing Coalition to promote inclusive practices that support the health and well-being of individuals with disabilities in the communities where they live.
