Families Forward has grown and now has twenty-eight transitional housing units, a food pantry providing food for over 5,000 people per year, and offers services to prevent homelessness in Orange County, California.〔 Families Forward's mission is to help families in need achieve and maintain self-sufficiency through housing, counseling, education and other support services. The group focuses on food insecurity, whereby a population of people don't qualify for federal food assistance programs, but still experience hunger because of heightened expenses. The organization has over 200 volunteers, in addition to full-time counselors and part time employees. Families Forward was awarded four stars by nonprofit evaluator Charity Navigator for fiscal responsibility, noting that 86.8% of donations are spent on its programs and services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Families Forward receives four-star rating )〕 ==Programs and services== Families Forward offers programs and services targeting families who are at-risk of becoming homeless.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us: programs )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Families Forward」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
