Families Helping Families is a non-profit organization started in 1996 to help senior citizens, low-income and disabled families.  We serve rural Lincoln, Oklahoma, Payne, Pottawatomie, Logan & Seminole Counties and have a total of over fifteen hundred family members that we help in their time of need and hunger.

It is our goal, as well as commitment, to help stop the suffering of those families that have fallen upon hard times.  There are many families in our area that are on a set income which allows them only a few dollars above their needs and at times, not even a few dollars.

We started with monies from our own pockets and donations from certain organizations to help a few needy people from our church members and their families.  within the year we had branched out to an overwhelming amount of needy families and it takes many hours of work and dedication from my husband, Alvin, and myself along with a few volunteers (loaders, sackers and general help) to get the job done.  Any type of donation is greatly appreciated and very much needed to help us continue to serve the needy.

Whether it is a dented can of food, a shirt, jacket or perhaps a few dollars, even a few hours of volunteer service, there are people out there that it means the world to.  As stated previously, we are a non-profit organization and rely solely on donations and volunteers to help us in our never ending battle against hunger and suffering.  All donations are tax deductible and the cause is a sincere and dedicated one.
