Mission
FOR OVER 45 YEARS, NESF, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, HAS BEEN SERVING THE GREATER ESSEX COUNTY COMMUNITY. NESF IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO NEED ASSISTANCE WITH EMERGENCY FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER, UTILITIES, RENT, AND OTHER BASIC NECESSITIES DURING TIMES OF CRISIS. THE HOMELESS, THE WORKING POOR, SENIORS, INDIVIDUALS WITH HIV/AIDS, AND THOSE AFFECTED BY FIRE, EVICTION, OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REMAIN OUR PRIMARY FOCUS. WHEN THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN, INDIVIDUALS CAN COME TO NESF. WE ARE A SAFETY NET TO THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING SERVICE WITH COMPASSION, DIGNITY, AND RESPECT.
