Here at Family-to-Family we’re excited to be collaborating with Her Justice – a NYC organization that helps impoverished women obtain legal assistance. Most of the women are victims of domestic violence. Family-to-Family will provide high quality clothing for the women to wear to court — complete outfits we’ll put together from clothing donated to us by the Eileen Fisher Recycling program Green Eileen. Since March we have passed along over 10,000 items of gently used Eileen Fisher clothes to 12 nonprofit organizations that serve women and teens in need!

A little glimpse into how Family-to-Family operates…. Last year after F-to-F Executive Director Pam Koner watched the documentary “Rich Hill,” about growing up poor in a rural Missouri town, Family-to-Family reached out to the principal of the local elementary school to see how we could help. Today Family-to-Family sponsors families there with monthly groceries…which in recent months have included bananas, broccoli, peas, carrots, peanut butter, hamburger meat, bread, potatoes, corn, rice and watermelon!
Together with Red Bird Mission in Beverly, KY we’re excited to announce the opening of the new “Gap” Pantry.
Intended to help the working poor, who aren’t eligible for Red Bird’s regular food pantry, the Gap Pantry provides families with incomes just above the poverty line with fresh groceries, including dairy items, fruit and vegetables, every month. A sponsorship for one gap family is only $10 a month! Read more here.
Over three days in June, five groups of employees at Morgan Stanley in New York City came together for an in-house giving event to make Family-to-Family’s Birthday Bags, Stuffed Shirts and “S’nocks.” The event, which drew about 100 employees, was part of Morgan Stanley’s 10th Annual Global Volunteer Month.
Almost 200 finished projects (birthday parties in bags for kids, t-shirts with personal care products and new socks filled with snacks for the homeless) were delivered to Covenant House in New York, to be given out to teens and young adults in need.
