An absolute makom shel chesed and real asset to the Lakewood community. The Lakewood Resource & Referral Center is one of those places you walk into stressed and walk out calmer, clearer, and feeling like someone actually has your back. From the moment you come in, you’re greeted by people who are true menschlach — patient, respectful, and genuinely interested in helping. No rushing, no attitude, no “fill this out and good luck.” They sit with you, listen carefully, and explain things in plain English (and sometimes even Lakewood English), so you actually understand what’s going on and what your next steps are. Their knowledge is impressive. All the programs, referrals, paperwork, and systems that usually feel like a tangled sugya suddenly start making sense. It’s like having a maggid shiur for bureaucracy — calm, clear, and to the point. You don’t feel talked down to, and you definitely don’t feel like a number. The office itself is organized, clean, and runs smoothly, but what really stands out is the derech eretz and warmth. This is chesed done with seichel and heart. You leave feeling supported, respected, and thankful that such an organization exists. Truly a place that embodies areivus and community responsibility. Yasher koach to the entire team — Lakewood is lucky to have you.

Wow! The LRRC is by far the most organized and professional referral center I have ever worked with. The staff is caring and patient and really helped me in a tremendous way. They answered all my detailed and complicated questions and concerns with ease! When I went into the office, I spoke with the director, Sarah Sternbach, and it is clear to me that she goes the extra mile for clients!! She was very knowledgeable and able to provide context and explanations to my questions. Thank you for all you do and everyone you help!!
