Senior citizen working at Cranford Family Care

Cranford Family Care has been serving the Cranford community since 1936.

Cranford Family Care was founded in 1936 during the depths of the Great Depression by local residents, houses of worship, organizations, and clubs. At that time, we were known as the Cranford Welfare Association. While the world has changed since then, our mission is still the same - to assist struggling Cranford residents to become self-sufficient.

Today, Cranford Family Care offers support to Cranford residents in the form of food or financial support. We continue to emphasize the dignity of each of our clients, and their identities are kept strictly confidential.

Our Commitment to Safety

Cranford Family Care is able to continue thanks to the generosity of the Cranford community. Volunteers are the thread that holds us together! We depend on our volunteers to help in our food pantry, pick up donations from local businesses and residents, and shop for groceries to replenish our supplies.

We rely solely on the generosity of the community from individuals to community groups, to provide donations.

Cranford Family Care is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your donation is fully tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
