Lenwood’s Inspirational Journey from 1998 to Today

During these very challenging times, we’re pleased to share with you Lenwood’s inspirational journey from 1998 to today. Watch our video showing Lenwood’s journey from homelessness as a tough street kid to CHNJ in 1998 to school and employment thereafter.  And he’s now giving back to CHNJ as a part time youth advisor.

Our extended community has helped make Lenwood’s journey possible, whether it’s been as a financial donor, volunteer, sleeper, sharer of our mission with others, or offerer of a prayer of hope. That support for all the services that we provide is making a difference in the lives of youth facing homelessness here in NJ.


At this holiday season, we thank all those who have supported our mission which has been a wonderful gift to CHNJ and to the youth we serve. Seasons greetings to all. For more on the services we provide, click here.
