\"Lynette<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Lynette DeLisa, a REALTOR\u24c7 with Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors\u00ae in Sparta, New Jersey, has a powerful reputation for giving back to the community. Her passion for helping others is demonstrated regularly through her volunteer work with Benny\u2019s Bodega<\/a>, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization currently assisting more than 700 families- over 2,000 people- per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

About Lynette DeLisa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lynette<\/a> ranks among New Jersey\u2019s elite real estate professionals- and her dedication to the local community is as strong as her passion for real estate. She is a trusted advocate who prioritizes client needs, transparency, and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynette has worked hard to become a nationally ranked realtor<\/a> and the number one producer at Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors\u00ae- all while balancing being a mom and volunteer for organizations such as the Rotary Club, Kindness for Christopher, Wished Upon a Child, Warrior Strong, and Benny\u2019s Bodega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLynette exemplifies what it truly means to be an Executive. Her dedication to serving others extends far beyond the real estate transaction. Through her philanthropic work, she is making a meaningful impact in our community, providing support and compassion to those who need it most,\u201d said Doug Radford, Broker\/Owner of Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors\u00ae<\/a>. \u201cThat same heart for service is evident in the way she cares for her clients. She skillfully combines community leadership with a relentless focus on delivering exceptional results for all those in her sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Involved with Benny\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because there is no government funding or partnership with federal food banks in the area, Lynette is first in line to help raise funds through Benny\u2019s annual fundraising events such as the 50:50 raffle, car raffle, golf outing, and tricky tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got involved with Benny\u2019s Bodega because it is such a wonderful community resource. It’s not a traditional corner store or deli but set up like a bodega (store) where people can \u2018shop\u2019 for free basic needs items from food, clothing, hygiene items, cleaning products, and school supplies to pet food and more in a welcoming, dignified environment. I love that Benny\u2019s helps reduce the stigma around seeking assistance,\u201d says Lynette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Benny\u2019s Bodega<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benny\u2019s mission is to be a community hub pioneering support for A.L.I.C.E (Asset. Limited. Income. Constrained. Employed) senior and veteran populations. It is a unique store that gives hardworking families the freedom to shop for basic needs items for free. It operates with zero government funding, thriving purely on donations and support from the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benny\u2019s Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benny\u2019s Bodega started in a cubicle, moved to a third-floor attic in Andover, then to a store front on Spring Street in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Benny\u2019s Bodega founders Benjamin and Heather Davey told Lynette that they were outgrowing space, so she went to work to find the perfect location. As it turned out, fellow REALTOR\u24c7 Cathy Kut was representing the sale of another Sussex County non-profit\u2019s building that fit the bill. Benny\u2019s moved forward and, as of their grand opening on January 31st, are officially located in their new larger facility on Plains Road in Frankford.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Lynette<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To help jump start the new location, Lynette donated $9,000 to Benny\u2019s- her entire commission- at the grand opening. \u201cWe so appreciate the support from Lynette as well as all our volunteers and suppliers,\u201d said Ben Davey, Executive Director. \u201cWe partner with Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe\u2019s, and pick up food from each of them twice a week. Without all this support we would never be able to do what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to shop, donate, or assist the local Sussex community, Benny\u2019s Bodega is a highly recommended spot where people are enthusiastic about helping others. Benny\u2019s Bodega can be reached at their new home located on Plains Road in Frankford or by visiting their website www.bennysbodega.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
