Thank you very much for coming and presenting (the Resume Writing and Behavioral Interviewing Techniques workshop) to my students. You were able to answer (the tough) questions that I wasn’t 100 percent certain of.

Being an AnnieRuth Foundation summer internship award recipient has been a blessing and an honor. I am so very grateful to have been offered this opportunity because this internship is the first step to my career goal as a Fashion Buyer. Through this program, I learned a lot about the Fashion Merchandising industry and I feel very strongly that this is the field for me. I am also thankful for the AnnieRuth Foundation for giving to the community by investing in the future of students.

We would like to thank the AnnieRuth Foundation and all of its volunteers for hosting the 4th Annual Christmas Party at University Plaza Apartments! All of our residents had a wonderful time. The children and families were very happy and proud to be a part of the Christmas party. We are looking forward to having many other events hosted on our property in the near future.

I felt privileged to volunteer my services with the AnnieRuth Foundation; it was an awesome experience to be able to help assist in preparing the back packs filled with supplies and giving bagged fruit and vegetables to the students at Ocean way Elementary school, the kids were taught how to make healthy choice in selecting the foods they eat. This organization is doing an outstanding job educating our communities on various topics!

The Annieruth Foundation came to my school, S.P. Livingston, last spring and did a Health & Nutrition program for our 5th grade students.

Students and staff alike were thrilled with the program and the students talked about it for days! I’m looking forward to setting it up again this year.

Rachel Raneri

Volunteer Outreach Coordinator, S.P. Livingston Elementary

I commend the AnnieRuth Foundation for their work with schools, companies, community organizations and families to transform the conditions and systems that lead to healthier kids. The Foundation’s focus empowers and influences communities through exposure to resources and best practices that transform choices, promote healthy environments and encourage healthy nutritional lifestyles.

My daughter and I volunteered with the AnnieRuth Foundation; we gave out healthy snacks and back-to-school backpacks. It was very rewarding giving to the children. The Annieruth Foundation is amazing. We are looking forward to helping out again very soon.

I was so excited when I learned that I would be working at a publishing company! There was never a dull moment working with my mentor. I am extremely blessed for being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s summer internship program because I was able to learn more about my future career of becoming a journalist and got paid for it. It was an amazing experience!
