Lighting the Way: 9th Annual Ending Homelessness Fundraiser Dinner

PERTH AMBOY, NJ — The Raritan Bay Area YMCA is proud to announce its 9th Annual Ending Homelessness Fundraiser Dinner to be held on November 13th, 2025 at the Armory Restaurant in Perth Amboy, NJ. For over a century, the Y has served as a beacon of hope, offering critical support services to individuals and families across Middlesex County.

The Ending Homelessness Fundraiser Dinner is more than a dinner—it's a night of purpose and unity. The annual event brings
 community members together to raise awareness, honor local champions of change, and generate support for the Y's mission to end homelessness. Proceeds from the evening directly fund essential services such as affordable supportive housing, case management, a 2-1-1 physical access point, and more.

The Y's work in this space is led by its Center for Success, Support, and Prosperity, located at 392 Smith Street in Perth Amboy. Every day, compassionate case managers assist families and individuals in navigating systems of care, applying for benefits, and securing stable housing. The center also provides basic needs services, including access to showers, mail delivery, and a bi-weekly food pantry.

As the need for these services continue to grow, so does the Y's commitment—and the resources required to meet it. Community support is essential to sustain this work. The Y invites all to join them for an unforgettable and impactful evening on November 13th.

"Everything we achieve at the Y is thanks to the incredible generosity of our community—our supporters, donors, and volunteers," said Steve Jobin, President & CEO of the Raritan Bay Area YMCA. "Because of them, lives are being transformed. We look forward to celebrating together at this year's dinner."

With compassion, collaboration, and action, the YMCA and its supporters continue to work toward a future where homelessness is no longer a reality—but a chapter we've left behind.
