Share a Family Recipe
This spring, two generous organizations are providing pantry staples for families in our program. We need your help collecting recipes that transform ingredients such as canned tomatoes, green beans, corn, and condensed soup into simple, nourishing meals.
Do you have a favorite recipe that uses primarily canned goods or shelf-stable ingredients? Send your recipe and the story behind it to Lucy Jones, Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator, at Lucy@FamiliesTogetherNC.org.
We’ll select 2 to 3 recipes at the beginning of May to use when building meal kits for our families—connecting your family’s table with theirs.
Interested in supplying the missing ingredients or assembling meal kits? Lucy would love to hear from you.
Donate Children’s Books
Families Together is collecting new or gently used books for children ages 3–11 for our Free Little Libraries to share with families in our program.
We especially welcome books that reflect the diversity of our community and help children see themselves—and the possibilities ahead—in the stories they read.
Every child deserves the chance to fall asleep with a story—and dream about the future ahead.
Interested in organizing a small book drive or donating books from your collection? Reach out to Lucy Jones, Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator, at Lucy@FamiliesTogetherNC.org for drop-off details.
Share Our Story
Help us reach more families by sharing the Safe Nights, Hopeful Futures campaign with your friends, colleagues, and community.
Follow Families Together on social media, share campaign updates, or invite us to speak with your group about how our community is working together to ensure every family has a safe place to sleep—and the opportunity to build a hopeful future.
