Parties are scheduled on the first Monday of the month, starting at 6:00pm and lasting no more than 2 hours.

Facility Fridays - Now Reserving for 2024

Help make FMF a home by volunteering for a Facility Friday. Groups can sign up to complete various facility projects such as organizing donations, painting, turning over rooms for new residents, and other needs of the facility manager. These are select Fridays from 12:00pm - 3:00pm with flexibility for group needs.

A Lotta Love Makeovers

FMF has a wonderful partnership with A Lotta Love, a nonprofit that “alleviates the trauma of homelessness and domestic violence by creating safe, dignified, and emotionally inspiring spaces.” Please consider sponsoring or partially sponsoring a room, as each residential room is a $600 investment. Every family then takes their new bedding, linens, etc. with them when they move on from the shelter to help make their new homes comfortable and safe. A Lotta Love also welcomes volunteers/volunteer groups to help them execute the room makeovers (sponsoring groups are prioritized). More information is available at alottalove.org.

Chefs for Change (2-3 times a year)

Our “Chefs for Change” fine dining with a purpose dinners continue to sell out and bring together a great cross-section of community members who want to have a good time and give back. Over the past 2 years, we have utilized volunteer groups of ~15 people over the age of 18 to help us put on our signature events.
