About us
HobokenHelps.org connects involved citizens of our mile square city with neighbors in need, to maximize both involvement and impact. We embody the expression, "Charity begins at home."
OUR VISION
OUR FOUNDER
One day while walking around town, Ben Walker had a realization. Not only had he seen the same people in need around Hoboken for many years, the number of needy citizens seemed to be growing. He realized that handouts were short-term solutions with little to no long-term impact. He also recognized that our tiny one square mile city of 60,000 people is a unique place where professional athletes live among citizens in subsidized housing. There was a major disconnect between the people in need, and all the people willing and able to help. That's when the idea for HobokenHelps.org was born, launching in 2016.
