Family-to-Family empowers men, women and children by enabling them to help alleviate suffering -one American family at a time. F-to-F is a grass-roots organization that is driven purely by volunteer efforts.

F-to-F specifies a series of activities that draw people together from differing racial, social and economic worlds. The organization dedicates itself to increasing the range of possibilities for families living in mostly rural, often-forgotten communities.

F-to-F introduces families with more to families with less. The box packed by Mom, Dad and kids in Suburbia, U.S.A. is opened by a specific needy family living in America's poor underbelly. Families are matched whenever possible by the number and ages of children and other criteria. There are no middle men and minimal administrative costs. The expenditures made by sponsor families to pack their monthly shipment represent 100% flow-through between donor and recipient.

F-to-F augments Federal and local food aid. Often, families relying on food stamps and food banks encounter bare pantries by the end of the third week of each month. F-to-F packages cover the last week of each month, the time when children are most hungry.
