Tony's Story

Tony's STEPS, Inc. was started in 2019 in memory of Anthony (Tony) Smith.  We are a New Jersey 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization that currently provides financial assistance to people living in recovery residences. 

Through Tony's experiences and struggles, we understand that drug addiction recovery is challenging, addiction is a lifelong disease, and sobriety is a lifelong commitment. 

Tony was an extremely generous young man, starting with his childhood years of going to soup kitchens and homeless shelters to donate his belongings to others in need.  In Tony's memory, we keep his generosity alive by providing financial assistance to people who have completed a substance abuse detox program and need clean, safe, sober housing.  

In addition, Tony's STEPS makes donations of food, clothing, and personal care items to veterans at Home for the Brave, The National Life Center, Inc., The Ronald McDonald House, Volunteers of America, and the homeless in our community.

At Tony's STEPS we encourage: Strength, Togetherness, Empowerment, Perseverance, Serenity.
