Welcome to Never Alone Again Domestic Violence Organization and Resource Center!

Founded by Theresa Johnston, who is the  CEO of Never Alone Again Domestic Violence Organization and Resource Center. Never Alone Again was born out of her personal journey as a survivor of domestic violence. In 1999, Theresa felt a deep calling to create a safe space for individuals and families facing abuse and hardship a place where they could find hope, support, and the resources needed to rebuild their lives. What began as a mission to support domestic violence survivors has since grown into a full-scale Resource Center that serves families in need throughout Bergen County and beyond.

​

At Never Alone Again, we provide a wide range of resources and programs designed to support individuals and families in crisis. Some of our key initiatives include:

​

Crisis Intervention & Support Services “ We provide immediate assistance to survivors of domestic violence, offering guidance, case management, and access to emergency shelter when needed.

​

Never Alone Again Resource Center Food Pantry & Clothing Distribution “Every Saturday, we operate a food pantry at our Teaneck location, ensuring that families have access to fresh food, non-perishable items, and household essentials. We also provide clothing, diapers, formula, and hygiene products for those in need.

​

“ We are proud to partner with the Teaneck Public Schools PTA to ensure that students and their families have access to food twice a month. We bring food directly to the school for pickup, helping to eliminate barriers and ensuring that no child goes hungry.

​

Never Alone Again Resource Center Mobile Bus - Thanks to a generous donation from Arbor Terrace Teaneck, we now have a mobile resource bus that will help us expand our outreach efforts, bringing services directly to those who may not have access to transportation.

​

Theres'A Place for Us Safe Haven -A program designed to provide safe spaces for individuals escaping domestic violence, offering not just shelter but also emotional and financial support.

​

Suit Her Needs Initiative “ We understand that re-entering the workforce can be a challenge, which is why we created Suit Her Needs, a program that provides professional attire, interview coaching, and career support services for women preparing to return to the workforce. By helping women feel confident and prepared, we aim to break barriers and open doors to new opportunities.

​

Never Alone Again Baby Shower Project - Welcoming a baby should be a joyful experience, but for many expectant mothers facing financial difficulties or lack of family support, it can be overwhelming. Through our Baby Shower Project, we provide new baby items, clothing, diapers, formula, and essential baby supplies to women who were in abusive relationships and have no financial support “some having left their situations with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Our goal is to ease their burden and help them start anew as they prepare for motherhood in a safe and supportive environment.

​

Never Alone Again Summer Fun Activities Program -

“ We believe that every child deserves a safe and joyful summer, regardless of their circumstances. Our Summer Activities Program is designed for children and families who cannot afford summer camps or recreational programs. Many of these children come from abusive households or are homeless, and our goal is to provide them with a safe, fun, and engaging space for a few hours per week. Most of the children in our program are sponsored, and we ensure that they participate in enriching activities at no cost or minimal cost. This program not only allows them to experience joy and social connection but also offers parents a much-needed break, knowing their children are in a caring and supportive environment.

​

Youth & Community Outreach Programs -

“ We believe in supporting the next generation, which is why we are so proud of our partnerships with local schools and college  through our "Free Prom Dress & Tuxedo Project - an initiative that ensures every student can experience the joy of prom, regardless of financial circumstances.

​

Never Alone Again Resource Center Holiday Giving Programs - Whether it’s providing Thanksgiving meals, Christmas gifts, or back-to-school supplies, we strive to uplift families throughout the year with seasonal support.

​

Never Alone Again Resource Center Workshops & Support Groups   

We offer mental health workshops, parenting classes, and empowerment sessions to equip individuals with the tools they need to heal and thrive.

​​

But our work is far from done. We are looking to build even more partnerships within the  communities. Whether it’s through volunteering, donations, mentorship, or collaboration, we invite local organizations, businesses, and individuals to join us in expanding our reach and impact.

Together, we can continue to uplift and support those in need, ensuring that no one in our community feels alone in their struggles.
