Casa Freehold’s mission is to lay a foundation for empowerment so that immigrants can learn how to address their needs and assist others as they integrate into the community. Casa Freehold Job Center ensures that hired day laborers get fair wages and good working conditions. We offer classes in ESL, OSHA health and safety, computer knowledge, etc. We also address issues such as health care, housing, and immigrants rights. For more information about volunteer opportunities, please call Rita Dentino at 732-409-3111 or 732-492-1852. Casa Freehold Job Center connects small businesses and homeowners with skilled day laborers for a variety of services, ensuring fair wages and good working conditions. Our workers are comprised of hard working men and women who are dedicated both to supporting their families and to being active contributors to life in our community. Our available amenities and services include restrooms, drinking water, places to sit, telephones, classrooms, outreach to employers and parking facilities. The hiring process is easy, convenient, and dignified. We do NOT charge an agency fee. For employers, we organize and normalize the hiring of day laborers, monitor worker quality, and provide opportunities for worker incorporation into the mainstream economy through employment assistance and, sometimes, skills training. For day laborers, we monitor the actions of employers, increase the transparency of the hiring process, and provide an institutional foundation for holding employers accountable for workplace abuses.
