FAM Family Assistance Ministries

Most of us are carrying something we don’t talk about.

The parent calculating which bills to pay.
The mom quietly eating less so her children don’t have to.
The neighbor who smiles, even when they’re not okay.

For many in our community, that weight isn’t temporary—it’s simply Thursday.

On May 30, we invite you to FAM’s Masquerade Gala at Bella Collina San Clemente—an evening that goes far beyond elegant masks and celebration.

Because while a masquerade is where masks come on… this night is about taking them off.

Together, we’ll gather for a meaningful evening of dinner, drinks, and dancing, experience the excitement of our live and silent auctions, and hear a powerful story from a client whose life was transformed through FAM’s support.

Every moment of the evening is rooted in purpose—ensuring no one in our community has to carry their burden alone.

Seating is limited, and we would love to have you in the room.

We did it ❤️

Because of this incredible community, we officially reached our Help Them Home goal—and we are so grateful.

Your generosity is already making a difference for families across Orange County who are working toward stability and a fresh start.
Thank you to everyone who gave, shared, and supported this campaign. You showed what is possible when people come together with compassion and purpose.

A special thank you to our matching gift donors, Tom and Grace Lieblein and Arlon Enmeier & Florine Enmeier, San Clemente Wealth Management, for helping make this impact possible.

While we’ve reached our goal, the need doesn’t stop here.
The giving portal is still open until 12 PM today. If you’ve been meaning to give, there’s still time to be part of this moment.

Every dollar continues to make a difference.

The clock has started.

Right now, in our own community, there are families sitting in cars, unsure where they will sleep tonight. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat.

You may never see them. But they are here.

Today, you can change that.

For the next 24 hours, every dollar you give will be doubled up to $10,000.

Your gift can open the door to safety.
To stability.
To a place to begin again.

This moment will pass quickly—but what you do right now can stay with someone for the rest of their life.

Give today. Share this post. Be the reason someone finds their way home.

Help Them Home Giving Day is on April 22—and it’s a moment for our community to come together in a powerful way. Right now, there are families and individuals quietly facing impossible choices, doing everything they can to stay afloat.

Your support can help provide food, housing assistance, and the kind of care that helps someone move forward with stability and hope.

Every act of generosity brings us one step closer to helping our neighbors find their footing again.

🌱 Earth Month is here! 🌱

At FAM, we believe caring for our planet goes hand in hand with caring for our community. This Earth Month, we’re celebrating small actions that make a big impact—on people, neighborhoods, and the environment we all share.

Join us throughout April as we highlight ways to give back, get involved, and build a healthier future together.

Girl Scout Troop 9604 helped at FAM Pantry on March 24. We are so thankful for their efforts in serving the community!

Join us for our Wine & Gift Card Drive-By in support of FAM’s annual Masquerade Ball Gala 🍷🎭

We invite you to stop by and drop off:
• A bottle of wine valued at $50+
• OR a restaurant gift card of $50+

📍 FAM Headquarters
