Family to Family

Family to Family is a parish based ministry. It is comprised of parishioners from various parishes in the Oakland Diocese who volunteer their gifts of time and talents including small financial and material support to a local family as selected. A team of six to ten families are trained in three sessions outlining poverty, purpose, process, understanding clients and, most importantly, teamwork to name a few. The purpose of the Family-to-Family Partnership Program is to strengthen our community involvement and make a difference in the lives of impoverished families by helping them to become sustainable. It is a unique opportunity for those who are interested in working directly with low-income families. Catholic Charities will provide technical assistance in the management of the case. Currently, 22 Parish Teams are assisting families in the Oakland Diocese.

Family-to-Family 2012 Holiday Highlights!
This Holiday Season, our F2F team and volunteers joined together to share in the holiday spirit. This season our program provided support for over 30 families. Our families were so thankful to Catholic Charities and to the Family To Family team for supporting them this Holiday season. Special Thanks to all of our Parish teams who work very closely with the families, without your support and commitment we would not have been able to serve over 30 families! Blessings and We look forward to working with you next Holiday season!
