Impact Stories

In Nov. 2021 after ten years of our evolving mission and impact, we changed our name to Gathering Ground. You may still find reference to our old name Creative New Jersey in posts created prior to Nov. 2021.

Monmouth County NJ Strong’s Time Banking

Image of clockfaces

Monmouth County NJ Strong recognizes that each person has talents to share, and that the overall community is strengthened when neighbors help one another. Through an online platform, for every hour that an individual helps meet the needs of another member, she or he earns a time credit for the exchange. This time credit can then be redeemed for services from others, and the never-ending cycle of sharing continues.

“Attending Asbury Park’s Call to Collaboration was my launch for my girl-centered mentoring program. It was an informative and educational experience that I will forever value. I appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with community members from all walks of life.”

– Angela Ahbez-Anderson – Board Member & four-term President, Asbury Park School District (Asbury Park)
