of making a difference

our beginning

Rooted in community, growing together.

Founded in 1976 as a grassroots advocacy and behavioral health organization in North Camden, New Jersey, HFC has grown into a trusted, multi-county provider of comprehensive health and human services. Today, we proudly serve South Jersey’s diverse communities, offering support and resources that empower individuals and families to overcome challenges and thrive. What began as a small community effort has become a beacon of hope, fostering brighter futures through care, compassion, and collaboration.

At Healthy Families & Communities—formerly known as the Hispanic Family Center—we believe that strong, healthy families are the foundation of a resilient community. Building on decades of trust and service, we provide accessible, compassionate support and a wide range of programs to empower individuals to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities, and create lasting positive change for themselves and their communities.
