About Casa Freehold

Casa Freehold is a warm, welcoming volunteer-run organization that provides an office where immigrants can feel safe to come for services. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10am to 2pm and by appointment 7 days/week. They recently moved to a beautiful, new office located at 2 Jackson Street, Freehold, NJ 07728. Since 2004, Casa Freehold has been serving the immigrant and asylum-seeking community in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Their focus is to lay a foundation for empowerment so that immigrants can learn how to address their needs and assist others as they integrate into the community. A pro-bono lawyer provides bi-weekly legal aid. Volunteers provide classes in ESL, OSHA health and safety, computer knowledge, and more. Volunteers advocate for individuals and families regarding employment, wage theft, health care, housing, and immigrants’ rights.

This is a critical time for immigrants in our country and your help is appreciated more than ever. They need to create new partnerships with pro-bono lawyers, court accompaniment, mental health providers, art therapists for children, reception volunteers, and others to reach the growing need for services. Contact Casa Freehold to get involved as a volunteer or if you are in need of services. This 501(c)3 non-profit organization depends on its community of supporters. Visit www.casafreehold.org to make an online, secure tax-deductible donation.

Bring the whole family to Earth Friendly Organic Farm on July 28th to enjoy blueberry picking while supporting your local community! For more information or accommodations, please contact Andrea Levine at 908-461-8491. Co-sponsored by Earth Friendly Organic Farm and Casa Freehold.
