Upcoming Ways to Help
Families Feeding Families operates four honor-system-based porch food pantries across the valley, providing access to food at any time to ensure everyone gets the support they need. Everyone is welcome—no need to talk to anyone, fill out paperwork, or prove your need. If you're reading this, you are welcome. These pantries are stocked through generous donations from our group members. We are not funded by any organization; all groceries come from within our community. When you get ahead, consider dropping off a box of cereal or a gallon of milk. But remember, there are no strings attached. Why? Because people deserve food. So please, don't be shy. If you're in a position to donate, please do. We couldn't do this without each and every one of you.
Open year round
Our biggest event, the Santa's Helpers program, brings the true spirit of Christmas to families who may not qualify for other holiday assistance programs due to unique circumstances or earnings just slightly over the qualified amount. This program ensures that each child in the sponsored families receives thoughtful gifts, while the family enjoys a grocery store gift card, teenagers receive fast-food gift cards, and every child gets a box of cereal. You have the chance to make this season magical by supporting a whole family, sponsoring a single child, or contributing a gift or box of cereal. Each year, we witness the incredible generosity and togetherness of our community, creating a holiday filled with love and joy. Be a part of this heartwarming experience and help us make Christmas unforgettable for those in need.

At the end of our Christmas program, we all gather for a joyous wrapping party that's truly the highlight of the season. It's a vibrant mix of people in everything from comfy street clothes to festive Christmas sweaters, and even playful holiday pajamas. Picture a room filled with laughter, holiday music, and the delightful chaos of wrapping paper and tape everywhere. Whether you can spare an hour or want to stay late into the night, your presence brings extra cheer to this special event. Together, we cut, tape, and wrap hundreds of gifts, ensuring every child receives something magical on Christmas morning. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with others in the community, share in the festive spirit, and make lasting memories. So come join us, be part of the fun, and help us spread the joy of the season!

Each year, local school districts provide a much-needed summer lunch program for K-12 students, but it doesn’t last the entire summer. That's where we step in! Our mission is to ensure children who depend on school lunches don't go without. You can donate lunch food items like bread and juice boxes, or join us on weekends to assemble lunches. It's a fun and heartwarming experience where you can meet fellow community members and make a real difference. Together, we can ensure no child goes hungry this summer.
July - August
There’s nothing quite like starting a new school year with a fresh outfit and new shoes! For many in our community, this wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations from our members. At our back-to-school event, sponsored children receive their backpacks, outfits, and shoes, along with a nutritious breakfast and a haircut. They leave brimming with excitement and confidence to start the new school year. You can sponsor a child, contribute by providing a few items, or make a donation and we'll shop for you. Together, we can ensure every child steps into the new school year with a smile and a spring in their step!
