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 programming 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 43 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 25,000 clients have received over 58,000 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.

YOU make “Help Starts Here” possible!
