"It was great to see the families' pride — in their contributions to the program and in their having earned the items they were buying.
They were not receiving 'handouts'." — Sunday Friends Volunteer and Donor

Why We're Unique

Sunday Friends provides a nurturing environment for practicing work ethics, manners, English language, money management, and healthy living in a community setting.

Every aspect of the Sunday Friends program empowers families to develop self-reliance by earning the items that they want and need.

Sunday Friends brings diverse communities together in a circle of giving and receiving. Donors receive personal thank you letters from children and parents. Volunteers and families work side by side together as equals, sharing food, productivity and fun.

As we teach new skills to children, we consciously include their parents in all parts of the program so the new attitudes and work styles can be carried on within the home.

Sunday Friends has created a financially responsible model of how the more privileged members of our society can come together with the less privileged in ways that uplift us all.
