The Power of Community:

Together, You Make the Season Brighter for Children Experiencing Homelessness

Your support means families and children in our program can enjoy experiences that go far beyond housing—moments of joy, learning, and community that help them thrive all year long.

Here’s how Families Together, with the help of our amazing supporters, is making this season extra special: 

  • Learn-to-Bike

    Learning to ride a bike is about more than balance—it’s about resilience, confidence, and fun! Thanks to our partners at Black Girls Do Bike, kids in our program have the chance to pedal forward this fall, building new skills and unforgettable memories while simply enjoying the freedom of being kids. 

    We are looking for a small handful of volunteers to help out with this event. If you are interested in helping out the day of the event (October 11), please sign up below.

  • Thanks Giving Meals

    Every family in our program will gather around the table to share a Thanksgiving meal, thanks to baskets lovingly provided by our sponsors. And with pantry support throughout the year, Families Together helps ensure that no child goes to bed hungry.

  • Stocking Starters (New This Year!)

    This holiday season, we’re expanding Holiday Smiles with Stocking Starters—small but meaningful gifts that bring delight and comfort to children. We know our community loves to give back during the holiday season and we need your help to make sure every child has a stocking.

    If you’d like to host a donation drive for Stocking Starters, please reach out to Lucy@FamiliesTogetherNC.org.
