Give Items

Holding a supply drive is a great way to provide valuable support to the families in our program and get the rest of the community involved.  Engaging with coworkers, your congregation, social clubs, and schoolmates helps us to increase our reach and cut costs.

Please see below to find out what our current donation needs are. If you would like to organize a donation drive or donate something not on the list below, please email our Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator, Lucy Jones, at Volunteer@FamiliesTogetherNC.org.

  • Furniture

  • Clothing of any kind

  • Used toys

Because Families Together focuses on housing and has limited storage, we do not accept all donations. We encourage donors who want to donate clothing, housewares and furniture, and vehicles to do so at one of our partner agencies.
