The “Gibbons Cares” community outreach initiative was recognized with a Public Service Award for its support of five focus areas: women in transition, fellowships fostering leadership in the next generation of New Jersey minority students, the City of Newark and its institutions, the needs of New Jersey food banks and the support of charities assisting Gibbons’ extended “family.”

Hall’s investment in renewable solar power has reduced its carbon emissions by 2,250 tons per year!
