Hello friends and family,
We have been quiet for a little while, but we have been working behind the scenes on something special. We are excited to announce that we are officially accepting toy donations for our upcoming Christmas in California Toy Drive. We will be collecting new toys, gently used toys, gift cards, and winter coats to help families in need this holiday season. Donation drop-off locations will be available throughout the California area, with our first confirmed location being Dax Thomas State Farm Office. Donations will be accepted starting today through Saturday, December 6th. This initiative, in partnership with local organizations, community leaders, and student groups, is focused on ensuring that every child has a reason to smile this holiday season. We kindly ask for your support in donating items that can bring joy, comfort, and warmth to those who need it most. The Toy Drive is more than just collecting gifts—it’s about building a tradition of giving. It is a chance for neighbors, friends, and families to come together, spread kindness, and celebrate the true meaning of community.We will soon share more details about our Day of Giving, which will take place on Saturday, December 13th. The exact location and time will be announced soon, so please stay tuned for updates.✨ Together, we can make this Christmas one to remember. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

For questions or more information on how you can get involved, please contact any board member of the First Family Foundation.

Sincerely,

Damani Stafford

President | First Family Foundation

We’re so happy to share that we were able to drop off 11 backpacks along with school supplies to California Area High School from our Back-to-School Drive. If any students in the district are in need of supplies, they can stop by the school office to pick some up. For those who have been reaching out, we also have over 30 additional backpacks (without supplies) available. If your child needs one, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d be glad to get it to you.
