Our work is made possible by a diverse group of partners, including religious congregations, community groups, service clubs, local businesses, foundations, government agencies, and private citizens in Union County and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our partners support our mission in many ways. They recruit volunteers, support and fund programs and services, refer families in need, provide guest speakers for client enrichment, and educate the public about Homefirst’s comprehensive solutions to homelessness. We are able to serve the Central New Jersey community through a broad network of public and private institutions and hundreds of private individuals. Listed below are just a few of our many partners. We thank all of our partners for their continuing support.
