Our Story of Compassion & Service

Building upon a 48-year legacy of extending helping hands throughout Central New Jersey

Evangelist Jacquelyn D. White

Honoring Evangelist Jacquelyn D. White

For nearly five decades, Evangelist Jacquelyn D. White embodied the true spirit of selfless service in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Her unwavering dedication to her community earned her a title that reflected not just her faith, but her life's calling: Evangelist, one who brings good news.

Through her work with countless community organizations, churches, hospitals and nursing homes, she touched thousands of lives. Her philosophy was simple yet profound: love your neighbor as yourself.

Jacquelyn believed that true community strength comes from individuals extending helping hands to one another. She understood that when we lift others up, we create a healthier, more compassionate society for all.

"Every hand extended in help contributes to a stronger community. No act of kindness is ever too small."

— Jacquelyn D. White's guiding principle

Continuing the Legacy

Today, Jacquelyn's daughter, Antoinette Bowers, leads the foundation with the same dedication and heart that defined her mother's life of service.

Built on Love

Our foundation stands as a living tribute to a woman who dedicated her entire life to serving others. Every program, every outreach, every helping hand extended carries forward her spirit of unconditional compassion.
