For over 30 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.

In 1989, Covenant House began its work in New Jersey by providing basic services to homeless youth on the streets of Newark and Atlantic City. Over the past 20 years, we have grown by creating more services and enhancing the quality of those services. Our focus is always on meeting the needs of our youth, needs which never stop growing.
