OUR MISSION

STUDENT LED, STUDENT FED

Families4Families empowers student leaders to address food insecurity and enact positive change in their local communities. F4F’s unique model elevates the power of young leaders and grassroots organizations by:

  1. Educating students about issues faced by their community,

  2. Coaching them in ways to use our F4F Playbook to host collection events in support of local community partners and

  3. Developing professional skills such as logistics management, communication and leadership.

With 110 student-led clubs across the United States, F4F’s Student Leaders and Volunteers are building meaningful relationships with community-driven organizations across the country.

Our vision is that this model will inspire the next generation of change-makers, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs.

HOW IT WORKS

1

A group of Middle and/or High School students create an F4F Student Club at their school or in their neighborhood.

2

The F4F Student Club is paired with a carefully vetted local nonprofit organization.

3

The partner organization identifies families that are in need of groceries and other essential items.

4

The Student Club collects groceries (Bags of Basics) and other essential items (Extras).

5

The F4F Student Club delivers the Bags of Basics and Extras throughout the school year or the summer.

Students Making an Impact


Your generation gives me hope for the future of what love can look like in a world that’s starving for it. It’s not about one group giving to another group that has less; it really is about us meeting each other as human beings together.
— Mary Brown, Executive Director, Life Pieces to Masterpieces
