Founded in 1989 (formerly Freedom Foundation of New Jersey, Inc.), the Friends and Families Foundation, Inc. began its journey to support families in need and brighten the future for youth at-risk. Since 1992, our organization has supported a “Say yes to your future” youth and family development program. Thus, our recent name change reflects our value system – building a network of friends to empower families for a bright and prosperous future.  We feel honored to be in service to our families.  And, we are especially thankful for the established network of friends who have supported our journey from its inception.
