There for our neighbors, year after year.
110+ years of service
Since 1913, Nutley Family Service Bureau has been there for our neighbors — providing mental health counseling, food, and a steadying hand through hard times. Join us at the 2026 Garden Party on Saturday, September 26, 3–6 p.m. at the Mountsier-Hardie Garden for an afternoon of food, music, and community that funds the care Nutley counts on all year.
Your support keeps our doors open and our services free of barriers. Last year, that meant counseling for children struggling at school, groceries for families between paychecks, and steady help for neighbors facing a crisis. Become a sponsor (Forest $1,000 · Oak Tree $500 · Dogwood $300), reserve your tickets, or make a gift of any size — every dollar goes to work for our friends in need.
Be part of our roots, and help our community grow.
