Help a Family: 1-to-1

Sign up online to sponsor a family in need.  Your monthly donation of $36.50* will help provide enough groceries for an average of 15 meals each month for a family struggling with hunger.

Once you sign up, F-to-F will match you with a family on one of the communities we sponsor, and email you information about your “new family.”

In addition to your monthly donation, you have the option of sending your sponsored family (via your local post office) a “monthly drive” item – a non-food basic necessity like winter gloves, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. For suggested monthly drive items click here.  The U.S. postal service offers two flat rate boxes that are inexpensive and work well for monthly drive items.  Click here for details.

Want to do more?  To promote literacy in our communities through the recycling/sharing of children’s books, we encourage you to send one new children’s book to the family you’re sponsoring, monthly.

We hope that you and the family we’ve matched you with will want to learn more about each other.  A great way to do this is to exchange letters or emails. Click to learn more (and scroll to FAQ #12).

As part of our Covid-19 response, we doubled up sponsors for some of the communities we work in, since due to business and school closures a significant number of our sponsored families lost income over the last year and a half. With two sponsors we can provide each family with a more substantial quantity of groceries every month. 


*Out of your donation of $36.50, Family-to-Family withholds $2.45 for our emergency food fund and operational expenses.

Please note that while your monthly sponsorship donation to Family-to-Family is tax deductible, items that you purchase yourself and ship to “your” sponsored family are NOT considered tax deductible.
