We are here to serve

Hope for Families and Children Foundation serves as the supporting organization and fund-raising arm of the Puerto Rican Family Institute, a not-for-profit agency now in its 60+ years of service to New York and Puerto Rico communities.

Our mission is to serve the most vulnerable low-income families and children through our service network in the areas of child abuse prevention, psychiatric treatment, early education services to children, assistance to the homeless, and many others. We believe that people of all races and backgrounds have the potential to achieve their dreams and aspirations.

We are grateful for all the general support of our friends, and we thank you for being a part of our journey of hope for families and children in need.

Through its fund-development efforts, the Foundation ensures that the programs of the Puerto Rican Family Institute continue to meet present and future community needs.
