From small business to lasting legacy, this episode of Hello Jersey celebrates the people shaping our communities with purpose and passion. In Haddonfield, we meet Denise Jonasz, owner of Pure Couture Consignment, whose work blends compassion and commerce as she helps families navigate life transitions, and Tommy DeRitis, whose barbershop has become a hub for connection, tradition, and community.
We also honor the impact of environmentalist Barbara Rich, whose work helped preserve hundreds of acres in Moorestown, and recognize lifelong leader Fred Vereen for his decades of service and commitment to community development. Plus, we spotlight upcoming local events connecting residents to opportunity, achievement, and celebration across the region. Real people. Real stories. Real community.
