Our founders were determined residents who wanted to make a change in the community.
"One day I looked outside my window and saw my community where I was born and raised falling apart at the seams. I went to my father and told him we have to make a difference. My father was all for it so we decided to start helping in the community along

This is when FamilyHood was born." -JoLinda McDonald
Our mission
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
Our mission is to help and serve Hoboken residents. JoLinda, Joe, & Sandra wanted to form an organization that will help the children of Hoboken stay away from the "street" life and learn/join something they love or will fall in love with. We have our teens who are role models for the young children in our community.
