Success Stories from 2025 Core Mission Grantee Joseph’s House of Camden

Success Stories from 2025 Core Mission Grantee Joseph’s House of Camden

Grants, SJ WOMEN GIVE
In June, Impact100 awarded $100,000 to Joseph's House of Camden, which has allowed them to provide increased, round-the-clock services to the homeless population they serve. The goal of their model is to help their clients stabilize by providing 24 hours of continuous shelter so they can ultimately move into permanent housing.  In January, Joseph House reported that expanding their hours has been successful at shortening their guests' length of stay. This has allowed the organization to increase the number of people served from 515 in 2024 to 655 guests in 2025. Guests’ length of stay has been reduced by one month on average, indicating they are moving into housing faster. In 2024, 179 guests obtained housing as compared to 201 in 2025. That’s an increase of about 10%. The support…

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Derry Holland

Member Profiles, SJ WOMEN GIVE
Derry Holland, CEO of Oaks Integrated Care, is very excited to have joined Impact100 South Jersey. She shared the inspiring path that led her to Impact100 South Jersey — a journey that began, fittingly, at an event celebrating community partnership. Derry first learned about Impact100 through the Oaks Integrated Care “Rooted in Community” Awards, where Impact100 South Jersey was among the honorees (pictured below). “I was so impressed by the women who were part of Impact100 — their energy, their camaraderie, and their clear commitment to giving back,” she said. Not long after, when she received a personal invitation to attend a membership event, she decided it was time to check it out herself since she had been thinking about supporting and joining Impact100 South Jersey. After attending the event…
