Every day, we hear from people who want to help the children and families we serve. We invite you to explore our Seasonal Wish Lists for items that supplement our services, as well as our guidelines for volunteer opportunities.

To organize a drive at your office, school, or in your community, please email GetInvolved@HFHnyc.org.

Donations from our Seasonal Wish Lists may be sent to our central office for distribution to our family residences. Please address donations to:
