Every day we receive requests about how you can get involved to help the families we serve. We encourage you to take a look at the seasonal Wish Lists of items that supplement the services we provide as well as our guidelines for volunteer opportunities.
If you would like to organize a drive in your office, school, or community to benefit the children and families we serve, please email GetInvolved@HFHnyc.org.
Donations of items from our Seasonal Wish Lists can be sent to our Central office and will then be distributed to our family residences. Please address to:
