Bridgeton Villas Ministry
Revive SJ and several local churches joined together to have programs of lessons and activities such as crafts and games at the Bridgeton Villas. The programs were run by the individual churches, with each church taking one week a month. The management of the Villas graciously gave us the use of an apartment. Volunteers from the churches cleaned and painted the apartment. Local businesses and individuals donated paint and supplies.
Vision Statement of Revive SJ
To work together with non-profits, churches, businesses and other community organizations to combat community deterioration and transform lives of individuals and families in South Jersey by meeting their housing, physical, and spiritual needs, and strengthening their family units, all within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
