What it Means to Volunteer
"The Impact is definitely larger than trying to do everything yourself." - Michael Alexi, 17, FGT Volunteer
Back-to-School Drive
Level the educational playing field for Bay Area students whose families face financial hardship through gifts of backpacks and essential, grade-appropriate school supplies.
Holiday Wish Drive
Give joy by providing the exact Holiday wish of a child, adult, or senior in need. It may not seem like much, but for someone who may not otherwise receive a gift, it’s everything.
The Communities We Serve
We partner with over 250 agencies each Drive to ensure we can serve as many communities that might otherwise feel overlooked here in the Bay Area.
"Your donations truly made a difference in those who received them and we cannot express our gratitude enough. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our community."
—Holiday Wish Drive Recipient
"As a parent, it is nice that your children receive a backpack with supplies because they help you a lot, both financially and as a motivation for our children to continue studying and not stop dreaming of what they want to be."
