Community Partners

Since we opened our doors in 1946, we have made commitment to our community a priority. Our customers are our friends and neighbors, our employees like family, and contributing to causes that affect them is important to us. These are a few of the organizations we have partnered with.

Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce

Family Promise works to help families in local Jersey Shore communities, including LBI, Manahawkin & Barnegat, facing homelessness. Through a variety of programs, they work to get individuals back on their feet. It is a special feeling for our Van Dyk Family to be a part of food drives and more to assist families who need it.

Hackensack Meridian Southern Ocean Medical Center

Having a local hospital is not only beneficial for residents but for our vacation renters and summer residents as well. We are proud supporters of the Southern Ocean Medical Center that strives to improve facilities and patient care for all community members of the Jersey Shore & LBI Region.

David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation

This organization is incredibly special to the Van Dyk Group Family, as we have had loved ones, neighbors, employees, and friends personally touched by cancer. As a nonprofit organization, DDBCF, works to raise funds to provide financial assistance, wellness services and HOPE to families in New Jersey facing a cancer diagnosis.
