The Mission of Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is to create welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens and children – along with their families and friends.

Our innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, lectures and social activities.

Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey was the 8th affiliate to open and officially opened its signature red door on April 13, 2000. Gilda’s Club is an essential complement to medical care for those living with cancer and their families and friends, to help them take control of their lives and learn to live with cancer, whatever the outcome. It is a place where people share and learn how to help themselves by helping others because no one should go through cancer alone.

Becoming a member of Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is a simple two-step process and is always free of charge.

New Member Meeting
(Step One)
The first step is to make a reservation to attend a New Member Meeting, a general orientation to the Club. Here you will hear about our history, our mission, our philosophy, and our program. You will also have an opportunity to introduce yourself and to meet others who are living with cancer. Please remember, this is a meeting for everyone touched by cancer-including family members and friends.

The session concludes with a tour of the clubhouse and the scheduling of a Customized Membership Plan (CMP) meeting if the person wishes to become a member.

Customized Membership Plan (CMP)
(Step Two)
This one-on-one collaborative discussion with a licensed or certified mental health professional, allows each prospective member to structure a personal plan for emotional and social support at Gilda’s Club, utilizing those parts of the Gilda’s Club program that best serve the individual’s needs and interests. Members discuss their cancer circumstances, as well as their short- and long-term goals.

Please call us at 201-457-1670 today to schedule a New Member Meeting.
