FAVE Family Volunteering: November 2026 Event
Join FAVE for our November 2026 event as we channel gratitude with multiple projects!
Come out and join us on Sunday, November 15th for Family Volunteer Day! We will be making bundles of Thanksgiving staples for our non-profit partner Chosen Hearts as well as custom baby onesies and no-sew blankets to be donated to other non-profit partners.
Why: Everyone deserves a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, food, shelter, and clothing! By making food bundles, blankets, and baby onesies, we can brighten the holidays for those being served by our non-profit partners.
Who: Chosen Hearts supports individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing instability by engaging them through outreach, direct services, and personalized case management, and ILS (independent living skills). Their mission to rebuild lives by fostering a sense of community and create a stronger, more resilient community, one heart at a time.
