This organization is one of Hoboken's finest nonprofits. They have a documented track record of effectiveness and a reputation for excellence in everything they get involved with. I appreciate that they are very partnership-minded and stick to what they do best- family programs.
My encounters with them have always been professional and courteous. When we need an organization to go the extra mile for an underprivileged child or family, this is who we turn to.

This organization is one of Hoboken's finest nonprofits. They have a documented track record of effectiveness and a reputation for excellence in everything they get involved with, especially with families. I appreciate that they are very partnership-minded and stick to what they do best - philanthropy initiatives (food drives, special needs bike camp, back to school drives, toy drives, etc) & family programs.

We can not say enough about Hoboken Family Alliance! Having witnessed the magic, we never expected our own little girl would be able to bike. But she was! And their Special Needs Bike Camp was and continues to be amazing!

My daughter and has Down syndrome. She really wanted to ride a bike and even made it a New Year's resolution!!!

This has rocked her world in such a wonderful way! Riding a bike suddenly became something she could do the first time she tried. We have been able to peel back as her confidence has grown so now she can truly get on and off by herself and play with all her neighborhood friends!

To inclusion and beyond! To just having fun! Thanks Hoboken Family Alliance!

Volunteering for Hoboken Family Alliance is a terrific way to give back to the community. As a volunteer, you are trained by an amazing staff who are also on hand to support you. The work was interesting and challenging, and the camaraderie among the staff and other volunteers felt wonderfully supportive.

HFA does amazing work for the community and really cares about helping those in need. There is a special needs bike camp coming up and I will be volunteering for that next week. I am glad there is such a great organization in the town that I reside in.

This nonprofit is VERY well-managed - when you go to volunteer, they immediately put you to work and you'll work hard. When you leave, you'll be amazed at how much you & your group accomplished in two short hours. The staff is well-informed, friendly, and always helps volunteers, always says thank you. In addition to collecting, sorting and distributing food, the Hoboken Family Alliance provides school supplies to students don't have basic supplies.

Hoboken Family Alliance been possible from the pure heart energy of individuals who care. This movement is about how these small, human gestures ripple into larger, sweeping waves.

As power structures and ideologies are being dismantled around us, what we build in it’s place will truly shape our future and generations to come. In some small way we hope we can create and share resources, that we can connect back to the power within ourselves, our friends, neighbors and communities

The Hoboken Family Alliance meant the world to me and my family. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 about 4 years ago. It has been 4 tough years of doctors visits, treatments, chemo, surgeries, and hospital stays. With all the stress and uncertainty, my family has spent alot of money and I lost alot of time at work for family caregiving - we also have 3 young children.

Through the Hoboken Family Alliance, they helped to make sure we had holiday gifts for our children. We are forever grateful.

I came to help Hoboken Family Alliance "HFA"when I was in college. I'd volunteered many places before I came to "HFA". I was accustomed to organizations that didn't know what to do with a volunteer, that didn't seem to be helping their clients, or that gave me really boring menial work. HFA was completely different.

I found I was looking forward to each project. Talking to people who need my support makes me feel useful and connected to humanity very deeply. It is a wonderful place to work and it provides a very needed service to the community.

Small, grass roots local organization with a big heart. Such a beautiful group of people with the right mission - to bring our community together and to helping others (from food drives, holiday drives, special needs bike camps).

Our group has served with them for five years now and will definitely continue to help.

Hoboken Family Alliance is a non profit in Hoboken that is an incredible organization in so many ways. They have excellent programs with a caring staff. They are all very committed to the community, with volunteers playing a very important role. All staff is only volunteer and not one of them is paid for the work they do.

The Hoboken Family Alliance is one of the best non-profits I've ever volunteered with. As an organization, it is run better and more professionally than many for-profits I've encountered in my career. It is also staffed by extremely capable, caring and patient people who do an excellent job of making both their clients and volunteers feel at ease. Anyone who wants to do community service/volunteer work with Hoboken families should do so through the Alliance as it is guaranteed to be a very meaningful, rewarding and enjoyable experience.

The Hoboken Family Alliance has completed a toy drive and enabled me to provide some toys and pajamas to my 3 children during the holidays, when I was out of work. I had many troubles keeping up with my bills. The HFA donations were a Godsend to me. I would not have had anything for my children if not for them.

Thank you Hoboken Family Alliance!
