Who we are
It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. HFNJ is rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in the Greek-American community. With a variety of active projects and a large volunteer staff, we harness our skills and resources to successfully achieve our goals. Since our founding in 2009, we have been proud to witness how our activities have benefitted the Hellenes of the Garden State and beyond. Want to take part?
