With great enthusiasm, we invite you to join us on the Asbury Park&nbsp;Boardwalk for our 6thannual Walk In Their Shoes,&nbsp;on Sunday, November 8th,from 9amto 11am.Wewalk to support the residents, clientsandthe programs of Ocean’s Harbor House and bring awareness and honor the lives represented in November - National Youth HomelessnessAwareness Month.
When people hear "homeless youth," they sometimes picture a young person literally sleeping on the street. And yes, that happens. But youth homelessness can also look like sleeping on someone's couch, moving from house to house, staying somewhere unsafe because there is nowhere else to go, or turning 18 and suddenly realizing there is no stable adult or home to fall back on. At Ocean’s Harbor House, our goal isn't simply to give a young person somewhere to stay. We help them build a life they can sustain after they leave us.
Here, our programs help young people find a pathway toward stability and independence. But young people shouldn't have to navigate that pathway alone. Our job is to provide structure, support, accountability, and opportunity. The SHORE House, our Supervised Transitional Living Program, provides housing and support for young people ages 16–21 with services extending into young adulthood through our Aftercare Programs. Through our Life-Skills Development Initiative, we teach practical skills young adults actually need in financial, housing and leasing literacy, employment and professionalism, communication and self-advocacy, health and wellness support. Our Day Services and Harbor Hub provide a central location for young people seeking these supports, along with guidance and a welcoming space to connect. Our Harbor COMPASS Street Outreach meets our young people in need where they are in the community and in their lives, connecting them to immediate safety and essential services. Your support is an essential part of how that happens. Your contributions make an incredible difference in creating a pathway to hopeful and sustainable futures for the young people of our shared communities.
Join us, along with the incomparable Ocean Avenue Stompers, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department, and our Monmouth and Ocean County community partners as we walk to support, to honor, to elevate, and to celebrate the young lives impacted through the 40-year mission and vision of Ocean’s Harbor House.

NEPTUNE CITY, NJ &mdash; Local professional drummer and music educator Joe Nevolo recently combined his passion for performing with a meaningful charitable cause, taking the stage outside MetLife Stadium on October 18, 2026, during an event supporting The Valerie Fund.
The Valerie Fund is a New Jersey nonprofit organization that supports children with cancer and blood disorders and their families.
Nevolo, founder and director of Big Beat Music Studio in Neptune City, performed with a band at the event, including an energetic two-minute drum solo that was captured on video and later shared on social media.
The performance has received an enthusiastic response from viewers.
For Nevolo, whose professional music career spans decades, the experience was particularly meaningful.
"There's nothing quite like the excitement of performing live, but when that performance is connected to helping children and families going through difficult times, it becomes something much more special," said Nevolo.
Nevolo founded Big Beat Music Studio in 1983 and has spent more than four decades helping children and adults discover the joy of making music.
His career as a professional drummer has included recording, touring, and performing with numerous musicians and bands.
Nevolo hopes the video will not only entertain viewers but also introduce more people to the mission of The Valerie Fund.
"Music has the ability to inspire people, bring communities together, and make a difference. That's something I've believed in throughout my career, both as a performer and an educator."
