Our mission

To provide the community with a broad range of culturally relevant social services and advocacy programs that promote and encourage empowerment and self-sufficiency.

What we do

Throughout its 40 year history, Hispanic Family Center has met the emerging needs of Southern New Jersey's residents with a particular commitment to serve the Hispanic population living in the region. What started out as a grassroots advocacy organization delivering behavioral health services has become a comprehensive human services entity.

The growth of the organization from a behavioral health provider to a flagship multi-service system that impacts the lives of residents across Southern New Jersey is reflected in HFC's vision statement. "Through its comprehensive programs and services," HFC "will address the immediate needs (physical, mental, social, economic and political) of the residents of Southern New Jersey, as well as establish itself as an instrument of change and a voice of power for the clients it serves and represents." HFC is an experienced nonprofit, with three locations in Camden and one in Gloucester County, serving nearly 10,000 clients annually through a diverse portfolio of program offerings for various populations.

HFC's experience includes: improving health conditions through counseling and health education and prevention services; delivering highly effective adult education (ESL and Civics), job training and workforce development services; advocating for and strengthening children and families; and, providing energy assistance to low income populations. In addition HFC has maintained a strong presence in the Latino community.

With a capable staff, strong leadership from the Board of Directors and Executive Director, HFC operates the largest Hispanic human services organization in Southern New Jersey.
