Ways to Give
Our commitment to providing housing and hope to homeless families relies heavily on the support we receive from generous donors like you. Donations are the driving force behind our ability to positively impact the lives of those in need. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness, each form of support is invaluable.
Monthly Giving
Monthly giving provides a lifeline for homeless families in need. With consistent monthly contributions, we can better forecast our budget, ensuring that essential services such as housing assistance, counseling, and educational programs remain accessible year-round. Monthly donors become valued partners in Foothill Family Shelter's mission, forming a community of support that sustains its efforts to break the cycle of homelessness and uplift families in need.
Host a Food Drive
Hosting a food drive directly addresses the pressing issue of food insecurity within communities. By mobilizing individuals, businesses, and organizations to donate non-perishable food items, food drives provide essential resources to those in need. Our pantry is always in need of items such as non-perishable food, hygiene products, and so much more. Host and organize a drive to collect these critically-needed items. For a list of items we accept or to coordinate a drop-off of items, contact
Give Gift Cards
Donating gift cards offers flexibility and empowerment to recipients in various situations. For teenagers, receiving gift cards allows them to select items they truly want on their birthday. Similarly, offering gift cards as incentives for clients acknowledges their efforts and accomplishments, while also allowing them to choose rewards that suit their preferences. Gift cards also allow us to purchase essential household items for the apartments in our Housing Program.
