Please note that F-to-F also sponsors separate community-wide drives in November and December.

In November, sponsors can donate $10 online through our website to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey and one side dish for their sponsored family.

In December, each chapter chair is invited to organize a gently-used or new toy drive to supply toys, wrapping paper, tape and ribbon to their receiving community. This way, families in need can "shop for" (no funds needed) age-appropriate gifts for their own children. Our mission here is to have each family experience the joy of giving for themselves. Any chapter chair who wishes to participate in a toy drive for their community, please contact your community partner and let them know.

Please also feel free to send warm winter clothing or bedding (sheets, pillows, or blankets) if your sponsored family needs them. We support the notion of recycling; when appropriate please send gently used items.
