Board & team members
We’re very proud of our team of 2,000+ volunteers, 23 staff, and 16 board members who each pour their heart and soul into making FAM and its clients successful.
A word from our CEO
Here’s our purpose
FAM is an inter-faith charitable non-profit alliance based in San Clemente. Originally known as Family Assistance Ministries, FAM assists those in need with food, shelter, and personalized supportive counsel and aid, and coaches people on how to participate in the journey from dependency to self-reliance. Our unique model focuses on addressing root cause issues to deliver long-term client success.
