Visit Our Website
We aim to help families & children in need through various initiatives such as our Back-to-School Drive, Easter Basket Drive, Feed the Homeless, Gift of Christmas, and Warm Those in Need. We also offer scholarships and educational programs to empower women & children. Making a difference one child at a time, it started in 1999 with an overwhelming desire to make Easter Baskets for a dozen homeless children in a local shelter.
Years past and we have grown to provide over 5,000 baskets to children across the entire state of NJ and do so much more with the help of our volunteers, donors, and sponsors. We are a 100% volunteer organization and 100% of all proceeds goes directly to the families we serve. The mission of I A.M Hope NJ, a subsidiary of The Abhay S. Mainkar Foundation a NJ not for profit, is to change the lives of women and children by breaking the cycle of poverty through compassionate programs such as Easter basket drive, backpack drive, feed those in need, warm the children, the Christmas gift, and scholarships to underprivileged children in NJ.
