OPPORTUNITY CLOSED-DIY: HOLIDAY DINNER BASKETS
About Housing Families First:
Housing Families First (HFF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to address and solve family homelessness in the Richmond region. Through the collective efforts and support of those who walk beside us, we continue to make strides toward a future where every family has a safe place to call home.
Make a Difference with DIY Holiday Dinner Baskets! THIS OPPORTUNITY IS CLOSED
The holidays are an exciting time of the year, but for families overcoming homelessness, this season can be challenging. In an effort to provide ongoing support to the families we serve, Housing Families First aims to give each family in our community programs a holiday dinner basket, enabling them to prepare a special meal this holiday season. With your help, we can make this possible.
This project is perfect for families, congregations, youth groups, civic organizations, corporations, neighbors, and individuals.
