Family Assistance Resource Center of NJ

Conceived and founded in the wake of a 2010 fire that left over one hundred families homeless, the Family Assistance Resource Center provides emergency clothing, footwear, toiletries and other essential items to assist victims of fire, flooding, storm damage and other disasters in their time of need. Executive Director Roger Hinton puts it this way, “Our mission is to offer the vital support that

will strengthen and empower those we serve to live sustainable and independent lives." FARC offers programs and services that address the critical needs of families and individuals in crisis. Through these programs, clients have access to clothing, footwear, furniture, household goods, bed and bath linens, food, and housing resources assistance. We serve fire and natural disaster victims, senior citizens, veterans, families transitioning from homelessness, those re-entering society, and students. Our experience in working in the communities we serve, is that families and single unemployed individuals, are struggling to make ends meet and to remain afloat as the economy slowly recovers. These families need the assistance of food, clothing, replacement furniture and other basic living necessities. FARC is a 501c3 tax exempt non-profit organization, supported by individuals who support our mission. All donations to FARC are tax deductible. The Family Assistance Resource Center NJ is governed by a board of trustees with over thirty years of non-profit management, board governance and business experience.
