Right here in Durham, there are families who need our help. Families without a place to live. Families with young children. Families in need.

Working together, we help provide families with children a stable, safe and loving environment while they are in the temporary crisis of homelessness. FMF now offers after school tutoring, educational enrichment programming, and early interventions to children residing in our shelter as part of a two-generation approach that aims to break the cycle of poverty in our community.

Thanks to the ongoing teamwork of loving volunteers and professional staff, our families become self-reliant members of the community who can then give back to others in need.
