Ways to Give
Holiday Giving
Thank you for thinking of families working with FCC this holiday season! You make a difference in supporting the journey to long-term safety and stability. We have two pathways for supporters to engage during the holiday season: family sponsorship and programmatic wish list support.
Each year community partners and supporters sponsor families working to rebuild after experiencing Intimate Partner Violence. The gift of holiday family sponsorship allows parents to create a meaningful holiday experience for their family. Last year, thanks to you, 89 individuals were sponsored through generous gifts reaching over $36,000. This year, we hope to raise $40,000 to serve more families. FCC's model of family sponsorship connects with our operating principle of supporting the autonomy and capacity of families and their goals by assisting with resources while they continue the hard work of staying safe and moving boldly forward.
The dedicated Service Coordination team works with each family to budget their sponsored holiday funds to ensure each person receives what they need. Our goal is that each family member receives 2 new outfits, 1 new winter coat, 1 new pair of shoes, and 2 toys/ wish items. The magic of this model is that the parents are picking out coats, outfits, shoes, and wish items they know their child will love.
