Please note that F-to-F also sponsors separate community-wide drives in November and December. In November, chapters arrange for turkey donations to each community they are linked with. In December, our gently-used or new toy drive supplies toys, wrapping paper, tape and ribbon to each of our receiving communities, where families can pick out age-appropriates gifts for their children. Our mission here is to have each family experience the joy of giving for themselves. 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.
