This Hispanic Heritage Month, our team celebrated through service at @communityfoodbankofnj 🧡 Food has always been at the heart of Latino culture—a way to bring people together, show love, and build community. We honored that tradition by preparing nearly 3,000 meals to support families across New Jersey. These meals fuel CFBNJ's Kids Cafe and Impact Meals Programs, ensuring children, families, and seniors have access to the nourishment they need. Grateful to give back to the communities we call home. #PhotoDescription A diverse group of volunteers work together at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, smiling and collaborating in an industrial kitchen facility. Team members gather around tables preparing rows of golden-brown empanadas and engaging in assembly-line style meal preparation with various ingredients and containers spread across workspaces. Multiple shots show volunteers actively packaging food, posing enthusiastically near professional kitchen equipment and stainless steel work stations. An orange graphic displays a Martin Luther King Jr. quote in white text that reads "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" Exterior and wide-angle shots capture the food bank building's facade and expansive facility, showing storage areas, preparation zones, and organizational infrastructure with program signage visible throughout the space.

Before: potential After: perfection ✨ When the right space meets personal touches, you get home sweet home at The BLVD Collection 🏠💫 #PhotoDescription This video shows a dramatic apartment transformation at The BLVD Collection. At first the frame reveals an empty living room with bare white walls, hardwood floors, and large corner windows showcasing a city skyline. Natural light streams across the empty space, highlighting the apartment’s potential with its floor-to-ceiling windows and open layout. The next frame shows the same space completely transformed into a cozy, lived-in home. A large tan leather sectional sofa anchors the room, adorned with colorful throw pillows and blankets. A round dark coffee table sits in front of the sofa with a white throw blanket draped over a chair. Multiple green plants are positioned throughout the space near the windows, and the room now feels warm, inviting, and personalized with thoughtful decor and furnishings. #BLVDCollection #apartmenttransformation #beforeandafter #homedecor #apartmentliving #interiordesign #jerseycityliving #apartmentgoals #homedecoration #luxuryapartments #cityliving #apartmentdesign #homestyling #interiorinspiration #apartmenttherapy #modernliving #homesweethome #apartmenthunting #luxuryliving #cityviews #homedesign #apartmentdecor #nyapartment #urbanliving #homeinspiration #newhome #apartmentlife #dreamapartment #housewarming

🎗 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to stand together for children and families impacted by cancer. This year, we’re proud to support our partner, @StJude, by sponsoring the 5K Walk/Run in New York City. St. Jude ensures families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live. 💛 Join us by walking or donating to support this incredible mission. Together we can make a difference. 🎗Link in bio to register or donate🎗 #PhotoDescription A large crowd gathers under a white and yellow inflatable arch that reads “St. Jude Walk/Run”. Behind them, tall ships and the New York City skyline are visible. Many participants wear jackets and hoodies on a cool day, while volunteers in red shirts hand out materials and cheer. The event has an energetic, community-driven atmosphere as people prepare to walk together in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. #VerisResidential #VerisCommunity #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #StJude #StJudeChildrensHospital #JerseyCity #NewYork #Boston #JerseyCityLiving
