A donated house. Twelve women. One mission.
That’s how The Center for Great Expectations began in 1998. Today, we serve over 600 people each year through trauma-informed care, housing, treatment, and long-term support. A heartfelt thank you to Ivy Slater Slater Success Coaching for inviting Peg to be a guest on Her Success Story to share this journey of healing, leadership, and community.

This week, we’re celebrating a big milestone at The Center for Great Expectations — we currently have 4 toddlers who are potty training! 🎉

One of our greatest needs right now is Pull-Ups. These everyday essentials may seem small, but they make a huge difference for our families.

You can help today by donating Pull-Ups directly through our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VJSNMOGF7FCQ?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_4
Thank you for supporting our families and celebrating these important milestones with us.

Thank you to Rutgers Residence Life for delivering soft, cuddly Build-A-Bears to CGE’s children from the Bearing Hope Foundation. For our youngest residents, these bears are more than toys—they’re sources of comfort, reassurance, and love.
