Building community. Creating stability. Changing futures.

We connect compassionate community members with families transitioning out of unhoused situations, providing essential services and programs that support long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

We believe in the power of joyful moments and meaningful connections - bringing volunteers, donors, and families together to create brighter futures.

We are families connecting families in an effort to improve the lives of those in need. Our goal is to provide clothing, housewares, furniture, food and necessities to local families in Bergen and Passaic County (New Jersey) homeless shelters and those who have recently moved to more permanent housing. Additionally, we host holiday activities where everyone can celebrate together and start to create lasting bonds between families, volunteers and donors. Families for Families is a 501c3 charity.
