HOPE FOR DESPERATE HEARTS
IN NEW YORK CITY
Hope For Desperate Hearts (HFDH) has been working to improve the quality of lives for the African immigrants in New York City since 2017, regardless of religion, country of origin, or ethnic background. We partner with African Churches, Mosques, and associations to support the immigrants from Africa living throughout NYC.
Backpacks for Children
We provide backpacks to the African children before the school year begins.
Holiday Gifts
We collect and distribute toys to make the holidays a little brighter for the African children in New York.
Winter Coat Drive
We help our community to stay warm during winter through our coat drive for the African community, especially for new immigrants.
Cultural Exchange
We share African culture with NYC students during school visits, and with all New Yorkers during community social events, in partnership with One Week in Africa.
No African Hungry
Food Distribution
We coordinate with local organizations and corporations to support the African community in New York with groceries.
Hot Meals Program
We partner with African Churches, Mosques, and associations in New York City to identify the hungry in our community, and provide hot meals to them through a partnership program with local African restaurants in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Queens. This is also a great support to independent African businesses because it provides a dignified way for them to make ends meet through meaningful work, rather than hand-outs.
