How F4F Works
How F4F Works
1. Start an F4F Student Club
To create a club at your school or in your neighborhood, email us at admin@families4families.org or visit our “Start a Club” tab. Once we hear from you, our team will schedule a short meeting to learn about your interests, the needs of your community, and discuss how an F4F club can make an impact in your area.
2. Get Paired with a Local Nonprofit
We’ll provide a list of trusted, community-based nonprofit organizations near you. You’ll choose the organization that feels like the best fit and we’ll help set up the connection.
3. Meet Your Partner Organization
In the initial meeting with your nonprofit partner, you’ll discuss the needs of local families and individuals, decide what you will collect, decide how often collections will take place, and coordinate collection and drop off times
4. Organize and Host a Collection
Pick a date for your first collection and start planning! Many clubs organize collections around a holiday, sporting event, or activity, but you can host one whenever works best for you! Here’s a guide on planning a collection for you to reference.
5. Deliver Food and Essentials to Your Partner
Once your collection is complete, deliver everything to your nonprofit partner.
They’ll distribute the bags directly to families in need. We encourage student volunteers to stay involved and build lasting relationships with both the nonprofit and the families served.
