As the focus of our world revolves around maintaining and solving the COVID-19 crisis, BEOF remains focused on ensuring Hudson County Residents are supported through and after these unprecedented times. As unemployment rates grow, the concern for the well-being of our community remains a top priority, and our staff continues to think of more ways we can protect our clients’ economic stability. Not only must we think of our family and friends, but we must also consider and provide care for many other disadvantaged individuals including our community’s youth and senior citizens, those experiencing homelessness, and families facing income insufficiency. These are just some of the clientele Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation (BEOF) serves.

BEOF will continue to serve the Hudson County community through a variety of programs and services while assuring the safety and well-being of our staff, our clients, and our community.
