Our foundation stands as a tribute to the remarkable life of Evangelist Jacquelyn D. White, a devoted community servant from Elizabeth, New Jersey. For 48 years, she tirelessly extended her hand to those in need, building bridges of compassion across community organizations, churches, hospitals, and nursing homes.
Her unwavering dedication to uplifting others earned her the title of "Evangelist," reflecting a deep-rooted belief in the commandment to love one's neighbor. Today, her daughter, Antoinette Bowers, proudly leads the foundation, continuing to build upon her mother's vision.
"What stories of kindness have you witnessed lately? Each of these moments strengthens our bonds and demonstrates the incredible power of community support."
