FFSC's 5th Annual Gift of Giving

...and the holiday season is among us! While Foundation for Second Chances wishes you and your loved ones a safe and happy Thanksgiving, we're also gearing up for our  5th Annual Gift of Giving event, and would love for you to join our holiday team!
This Christmas, FFSC is inviting 150 underprivileged children and their families to join us for a day of fun, a delicious feast, and free gifts to brighten up the season. While many of us may think of Christmas as a pleasant time to spend with family and friends, to celebrate the birth of Christ, to enjoy good food, and to exchange gifts, Christmas can be a discouraging and strenuous time for many of the families within FFSC's community.

Many of our families cannot afford to give their children Christmas gifts, nor can they afford to share a nice holiday meal together. The Gift of Giving helps brighten the holiday season by hosting this FREE event along with the generosity of people like you.


Ways You Can Help:
 1. Volunteer the day-of at the event
 2. Host a toy drive at your work/school/church/group/holiday party
 3. Personally donate unwrapped gifts for youth, ages 4-14
 4. Make a monetary donation
 5. Make food donations
 6. Inquire about donating cooking or arts and crafts supplies
 7. Have your group create and host a game or craft station for children
 8. Ask your company to consider our sponsorship opportunities
 9. Tell your friends and family to join us for this wonderful event!


Interested in getting involved or making a donation? Contact Volunteer Event Coordinator, Michelle Woo (mwoo17@yahoo.com). For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Associate Director, Fatima Nelson (fatima@ffscinc.org).
