Thanksgiving Food Drive
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Food Drive so families in need can share a warm meal together.
Our Thanksgiving Program ensures that more of our neighbors can gather around a full table during a time that should be filled with joy and celebration. But right now, nearly 14% of families who live and work in Orange County are struggling with affording the basic need of food, and rising grocery costs make it even harder for families to make ends meet.
With your support, Families Forward can provide holiday ingredients so every family can share a warm meal together. Donate food or funds during the month of November to help make the season brighter for our neighbors and their children.
Holiday Wish
Thank you to everyone who signed up to make holiday wishes come true for families in our community.
The Holiday Wish Program offers a chance to make a real difference during a potentially tough time. It allows individuals, companies, and community organizations to create cherished holiday moments for families in need, sharing love, joy, and warmth with those who truly appreciate it. Donations are welcome from early November to early December, ensuring kids’ ‘wish lists’ are fulfilled. To take part, you must be able to deliver donations to our office in Irvine.
Information on how to get involved with Thanksgiving and Holiday Wish 2026 will become available in September of 2026.
