Jerry Lovejoy

COMPASSION NETWORK MANAGER

Jerry serves as the Office Manager and Volunteer Coordinator at Compassion Network. He started with Compassion Network first as a volunteer in 2011 and now is a full-time employee. Jerry has an uncanny knack for remembering all our clients' names and giving "shout-outs" to them as they walk through the door, using his sense of humor to bring much-needed levity during our sometimes heavy days.  He has been married to his wife, Karen, since 1989 and has one daughter and three grandchildren. He attends Cedars Church in Newark where he is a musician, singer and teacher.
