"Never Underestimated Again": DeBoer's Auto Wins the 2026 Amanda E. Carter Award

We fix cars for a living. We don't usually get invited to awards breakfasts in 18,000-square-foot mansions. But on October 1, 2026, we found ourselves at historic Rutherford Hall in Allamuchy, where the Workforce Development Board of Northwest New Jersey named DeBoer's Auto the Sussex County winner of the 2026 Amanda E. Carter Award. The award honors employers who open real doors for people with disabilities. It has our name on it, but the story behind it belongs to Jayden.
