We are a 501c3 nonprofit linking families from more affluent areas with families trying to make ends meet, not just providing material goods, but bonding families from different backgrounds. Our mission is to harness the immense generosity and compassion we see in our hometown and surrounding area and use it to improve the lives of those in need. We particularly focus on helping families/individuals served in homeless shelters, individuals in subsidized care, and families receiving public assistance.

Furnishing Great Starts
To help ease the transition from the shelter to a more permanent living space, Families for Families reaches out to the head of household and understands their family’s unique needs. We then solicit donations, pick them up, and deliver them directly to the family.

Adopt A Student
Help a student to be prepared on the first day of school! When you adopt a student, we provide you with their name and a list of supplies needed. You would then purchase a backpack and fill it with the needed supplies and drop it off to be distributed before the start of the school year.
