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 email sara@familiestogethernc.org or call 984.218.2600 with questions or to get help organizing a donation drive.
Welcome Baskets
Emergency PAntry
We all know the importance of keeping a clean house, however, for many families in our program the cost of cleaning supplies and toiletries can make them outside the monthly budget. In an effort to support families as they move towards independence, Families Together provides Welcome Baskets when families move into their new homes. Through the donations of individuals and groups, we can help families start off in a healthy environment. This is a wonderful way to make a direct impact on families in our program.

Families Together strives to support families on many levels as they navigate through the crisis of homelessness and that includes keeping a small pantry that helps families bridge the gaps that cause housing insecurity. With the help of community donations, we can provide support with items such as household cleaning supplies, personal hygiene supplies and non-perishable food to families working to make a change in their lives. We keep specific items in our pantry and ask that donors look at expiration dates on items before donating. We cannot distribute items that are expired.
back to school
As the season changes, we work to collect items that families need, but that takes a big bite out of the monthly budget. One of our main focuses is back to school. The cost of school supplies is increasing and for families, this expense can be hard just as their new foundation is being set. While we are not currently collecting back-to-school items we will start collecting in July for children in our program and set up a "shop" so they can come to pick out their own items.

Holiday Smiles
Thank you to all that sponsored a child/family for our 2023 Holiday Smiles Program. With your help, we were able to provide Christmas gifts for 170 kids in 60 families! If you are interested in providing gifts for children in our program in 2024 email Sara Karbley at sara@familiestogethernc.org.
Families Together focuses on housing and has limited storage. That's why 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 that specialize in these types of donations. When we have a family in need, we work with these agencies to help families in our program access the resources they need.
