Hello friends of Families Helping Families (FHF),
It is with much regret that the Board of FHF has decided to postpone preparation and delivery of our 35th Annual Baskets of Hope. The Saturday before Thanksgiving has always been a special day for all of us to witness a year’s worth of fundraising efforts translate into 200+ volunteers working together to package and deliver these baskets to the families that need them in our community. The safety of our families is our most important concern. Therefore, the Board of FHF has decided to mail out food gift cards instead.
We will truly miss seeing your families this year and watching how you express your love, compassion, and care for the families that may not be as fortunate as yours. Due to the cancellation of our Bud Classic Car Show, which is our main fundraiser for the year, our funds will be limited. We are asking for donations large and small. All donations make a difference--you can sponsor a turkey for $20, or a family for $100, or anywhere in between.
To all of you, thank you and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

From 3 to 400 Meals in Over 35 Years!
Last year through employee donations and fundraising from the Bud Classic Car Show & First Friday's, FHF raised enough funds to provide 300 Solano County Families with a Thanksgiving meal for the holiday. FHF was also able to provide 100 seniors with a $100 dollar's food card for the holidays which makes a total of 400 families!
Pictured here is one of our founding fathers of the charity - "Jigs" surrounded by volunteers to give prayer before we start packing food.
100 plus volunteers come to help pack and deliver boxes of food, enough to feed a family of 4 for 2 weeks. Employees and volunteers of Anheuser Busch, Sutter Solano, West America Bank, The Matt Garcia Foundation and the Mexican Open Committee & other members of our community, rolled up their sleeves, packed & delivered 900 boxes of food. They all came together for one reason - to give back to the community.
Every Saturday Before Thanksgiving is a Very Special Day!
