Dolly Hernandez Of Casa Freehold Helps Newcomers: Community Leader

FREEHOLD, NJ — Without community leaders, Freehold wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from José, a Freehold reader who nominated Dolly Hernandez, executive director of Casa Freehold.
