Family to Family

Family-to-Family, a national grassroots hunger relief organization, links American families with "more" to impoverished rural American families with "profoundly less" across the U.S. Once every month each sponsoring family either shops for 7 dinner-type meals (nonperishable foods only) for "their" family...packs them in a sturdy box, and then delivers their box to a local chapter chairperson, ( 5-10 families in a chapter with a chapter host in charge) who ships the chapter's boxes to the receiving community. A new option, instead of shopping and shipping a box or joining a chapter, an individual donor or family can cyber sponsor a family in need and provide monthly funds for F-to-F to purchase food locally for their recipient family. Receiving families pick up their monthly food box from a local F-to-F community outreach partner.

Dismayed at the terrible living conditions of the animals there, they left to establish a rescue group to properly care for cats and dogs in need, and find them safe and loving homes. Pet Rescue is not a formal shelter. It is a small group of volunteers that fosters dogs and cats until they are adopted. Some animals are fostered by group members and outside volunteers, while other animals are housed at local boarding facilities. The animals come from various places. Some come from owners who are no longer able to care for them. Others are taken from local shelters, yet still others (many others) come from the streets.
