COMMUNITY OUTREACH : THE PINK BOOT INITIATIVE
With our organization’s mission always in mind, “Our Community is Our Treasure” we strive to find new strategies for dealing with the overwhelming challenges of impoverished communities. The Pink Boot initiative is about the community cycle of helping each. Our goal is to stomp out negative behavior that affects out city and community.
We give back, by sharing valuable information, services and goods to those who are in need. We’re creating a positive movement towards being a good neighbor and having a neighborhood we can call home. We call it LOVE for our community, help up spread this positivity.
Our Community Outreach is something that we take very seriously, and our team is working each and every day to make a positive impact, because it is OUR community . Contact us to learn more about “the Pink Boot” initiative, and our commitment to this cause.

FOUNDER, TINA NALLS
Born in Birmingham, Alabama ...Tina Nalls found herself on the tough streets of Jersey City, NJ as a teen. Tuff times ahead she never lost her southern charm. It was one of those times in 2008, Tina was desperate for a job but had no money to buy clothes. She was sent to a local agency, she was told could help her. When she didn’t have $3 to pay for the items, she was turned away. Tina was able to get some clothes from a neighbor and got the job. She vowed that no one should have to do without basic essentials or be turned away.
Out of her low income apt she picked up, stored, sorted, washed, folded clothes to give away to people who had less than her. While working a full time job and having her own family, she managed to continue helping the community for 11 years. Her operation has grown into Community Treasures of Jersey City. In 2019 the organization finalized its 501c status and became a official registered nonprofit. Tina has remained humble and focused on her mission to help her community. She has since been honored by community organizations, clubs, local officials and local governmen, for her work in the community.
Moving forward Ms Nalls has been working hard at building her network of community connections, getting resources, giving back and taking care of her community. She embraces learning and linking with others to better serve those in need. She has been adamant that she give any items she receives back, she wouldn’t charge -FREE.
It’s not just a job but something she does from the heart. It’s her way of contributing and doing it with a hug and smile which is her southern way.
Thanks to all of the people who have sponsored, donated, volunteered, share information and help Community Treasures in any way. I feel so blessed and honored to be able to help out anyone. So I hope to help as many as I can, god willing. ~Tina Nalls
