who we are
Luz of Hope is a charity dedicated to serving those in need. Located in New Jersey, we serve those locally as well as those abroad.
Established to honor the legacy of Maria Lourdes Menendez, whose life exemplified the virtue of altruism. Her enduring lesson to family and friends was the importance and goodness of helping others—a principle that is the foundation of our mission.
