About us
Who we are
We are a passionate community dedicated to uplifting one another and inspiring our children through meaningful connections and shared experiences.
Friends of 4th ward is a community-based organization in Linden NJ. The organization was founded by Jennel Hendrson in 2008. Leter joined by other neighborhood friends, FO4W was established. Since its inception FO4W has organized, hosted, and sponsored Community Day at 4th Ward Park. This wonderful Festive event is magnificent family fun for all to attend. Community Day is an annual event presented to the community to give back to the citizens of the community. It also promotes cohesiveness and unification between local residents, local government, law enforcement, and clergy members. It is an enjoyable experience for all community members to share in TOGETHER! It is a great pleasure to present this grand occasion each year.
F04W Families
FO4W believe families are truly the very heart and soul of the community. A community is no stronger then the families within.

Our mission is to foster a supportive and inspiring environment where community members come together to uplift each other and empower the next generation.
FO4W believes that families are literally the heart and soul of the community. It is our mission to restore and enhance the quality of life and morale within our community. We are committed to the upliftment and renewed vitality of “the people”. Celebrating the unique gifts and contributions of the community members is how “Community Day” was born.

Our vision is to bring about a day where each “family member” can spend some much needed well deserved light hearted leisurely time TOGETHER!
