Are you in need of food?
Family Promise Walk-In Dinner Program
The Family Promise Walk-In Dinner Program provides fresh, nutritious meals seven days a week to anyone experiencing food insecurity. Free dinners are available daily at the Bergen County Housing, Health, and Human Services Center (120 South River Street, Hackensack) from 4:45 – 5:50 PM. Meals are served in the dining room of the Human Services Center and also distributed in to-go packages at the loading dock.
Are you homeless or behind on your rent?
Family Promise is here to help.
Behind on rent?
Our diversion & prevention program assists working families with dependent children who are facing eviction or otherwise struggling to pay rent due to temporary emergencies or an unforeseen life event. Families who are working and struggling to pay rent may be eligible for rental assistance.
We do not currently provide assistance for move-in expenses, such as security deposits.
Call us today at 201-833-8009 to learn how we can help. Sorry, we do not accept walk-ins.
Lost Your Housing?
Our sheltering program offers families the opportunity to access resources, develop new skills and, with the help of a caring team of professionals, create a plan that empowers them to move toward self-sufficiency. We offer intensive case management, financial education, and coaching – all while covering your housing expenses so you can save!

This includes families who are:
