How to Make Donations

You Can Help Make “35 Hours of Giving” Meaningful for Irvine Families

One of the most important parts of our celebration is our drive to help Families Forward furnish new homes that are being provided to deserving families in our city!

Simply bring new items from the list below to the Civic Center any time on December 7th or 8th. And remember, each item you donate before 2:00 p.m. on December 8th qualifies you for an entry into our “35 Hours of Giving” opportunity drawing and the chance to win great prizes!

Families Forward welcomes all new items that would be appropriate for furnishing a new family home. This list is not complete, but includes 35 categories of items that these families need the most:
