Frontline in-home workers who provide care and assistance for some of New Jersey’s most vulnerable residents, the elderly, the developmentally disabled and military veterans will receive a special “thank you” gift to provide some relief from the stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Public Partnerships LLC, affiliated with Public Consulting Group Inc., has teamed up with the international relief organization CARE to offer a $25 CARE Package Gift Mastercard to about 20,000 unsung heroes who provide needed daily assistance, care and support to help people live independently and remain in their communities, it announced in a press release.
he gift card offer extends to all workers in the New Jersey Personal Preference Program, the Department of Developmental Disabilities Self-Directed Program and the Division of Aging Services that administers the Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving and the Participant-Employed Provider programs — jointly known as the JACC Program.
These self-directed programs serve more than 22,000 New Jersey residents each year.
