Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Employee & Family Resources (EFR) is a nonprofit human services organization dedicated to helping people manage life's challenges so they can reach their full potential.

Their Community Services help individuals and families to establish and meet goals, focus on increasing access and services for specific language and cultural groups, and provide substance abuse related prevention and programming. These programs include the Student Assistance Program for youth, bilingual counseling services, and behavioral and restorative justice programs.

Their Workplace Services help organizations perform optimally by growing healthy and focused employees and providing guidance in times of crisis. These programs include an Employee Assistance Program and wellness programming for employees, training and leadership coaching for management, and mediation and crisis response services.

Their Substance Abuse Services help individuals, families, and employers impacted by substance abuse-related problems.
