Our Mission

COJO Flatbush’s mission is to preserve and strengthen the  quality of life of families in our  community. Our mandate is to provide comprehensive programing that assists the  less fortunate in meeting their daily needs for food, sustenance, housing, health care, social support and
financial security.

OUR HISTORY

COJO Flatbush was established 45 years ago as a multi-faceted, non-sectarian, non-profit social  service agency ready to respond to the concerns and needs of our community.

HOW WE ARE DOING

This year alone over 26,000 clients have received over 60,000 services through COJO Flatbush programs.

HOW WE DO IT

COJO Flatbush works together with a multitude of ethnic and cultural communities in addressing common concerns. We have strong linkages with legislative offices, government and community agencies, and the public at large, which assist us in reaching our goals.
