Who Is My Neighbor? Inc. has been an operational 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, incorporated in the state of New Jersey and tax-exempted by the federal government, since 2003. In 2003, WIMNI opened a fair trade store and by 2007 had engaged the nonprofit fair trade retailer Ten Thousand Villages to open a store in Highland Park. In 2007, WIMNI began offering summer camp programs for elementary, middle school and high school aged youth, which in 2010 adapted into Camp Cool Environment. In 2009, WIMNI co-founded the Highland Park Fair Trade Coalition and sponsored Highland Park’s application to TransFair USA to be designated as a Fair Trade Town, partnered with Elijah’s Promise to open A Better World Café, and began serving as the fiscal agent for Buddy Ball Highland Park, a team sports program for special needs children partnered one on one with teen volunteer athletes.

The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that meets monthly to guide the organization’s work, and its leadership includes Executive Director Austin Morreale and Board Members Arielle Del Rosario, Jessica Sweet, Aaron Coneen, Nikki Gonzalez, and Megan Shook.

Camp Cool Environment focuses on environmental and science education and is designed to foster children’s love of nature and to encourage a commitment to sustainable living practices. Camp Cool Environment offers a leadership opportunity to local teenagers to serve as “VolunTeens” (volunteer assistant counselors), developing team building skills, and discovering the importance of working as a community service volunteer. The Family Den is a free-of-charge early childhood enrichment and parenting support program that provides a creative learning environment for children ages infant through four years to develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills while providing caregivers the opportunity to form a supportive community through a parenting education group. The Gratitude Graffiti Project is a 33-day purposeful appreciation of one’s life through public interactive art, with intentions to bring the community together, improve the quality of people’s lives, and develop a habit of gratitude. A Better World Café is described as a nonprofit community café that offered healthy, seasonal and local food to all regardless of one’s ability to pay, with goals to alleviate hunger, promote healthy eating, reduce obesity and eliminate food waste, while creating livable wage jobs, employing skilled workers trained at Elijah’s Promise Culinary School, and providing on-the-job training and volunteer employment opportunities for low-income and/or developmentally disabled adults. The Family Den brings together neighbors from multiple socio-economic, racial, ethnic, religious, and family backgrounds, including a response from local immigrant populations. The Highland Park Senior Social Network is for adults (60 and older) seeking a supportive social network made up of long standing and new friends who share a commitment to remain active, independent and involved in the community. Since 2003, Who Is My Neighbor? Inc. has served local and global neighbors through programs created to build connections and foster a sense of belonging in a diverse community.
