FamilyWise offers Supervised Parenting and Safe Exchanges between non-custodial parents and their children in a safe and nurturing environment using a model of supportive parenting time. Most of our clients come from low income backgrounds and may not have the resources to provide wholesome and healthy foods at the time of their visitations. This puts more stress not only on the parent, but also the child who may be experiencing hunger during the visit. We want to take the burden off our families by providing healthy snack packs during their time together.
We are looking for donations of up to 150 snack packs for our Supervised Visitation program.
Items that can be included in these packs are:
- Granola bars (nut free)
- Juice boxes
- Fruit snacks
- Crackers (individual packs)
- Pretzels (individual servings)
- Non-perishable foods
This can be a great opportunity to come together for a team building activity to assemble these snack packs, but they’re not required to be pre-assembled to be accepted.
If you have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@familywiseservices.org

Mission Statement
Strengthening Families by Promoting the Safety, Stability, and Well-being of Children.
Description
FamilyWise is a local nonprofit that helps our community’s most vulnerable children and families. Many of these families come to us with a history of poverty, domestic violence and homelessness. Your volunteering and financial support helps break this cycle of despair and gives them hope for a better future.
Our goal is to promote social change by strengthening families and the community through programs that:
- Educate parents on skills needed to lead stable lives and provide safe homes for their children.
- Empower families to achieve self-sufficiency and to advocate for themselves and their children.
- Enrich the lives of children, youth and families, enabling them to lead healthy, productive family lifestyles.
"Volunteering at FamilyWise opened my eyes to a whole new world where children and families from all walks of life are treated with dignity and respect. It made me feel good to know that I was helping contribute in a meaningful way to the greater good."
