Why Sponsor?

Many of our children and families live in impoverished communities. With rent and cost of living soaring, families are financially challenged with access to quality services. Research continues to demonstrate, “summer” youth crime and death rate increases when youth are not connected to community programs. 

Our vision is to provide a safe place where children can focus, develop, and receive services that are simple in the number of steps (objectives), transparent in how its delivered (outcomes), and driven by the needs in which our community thrives (relevant/revised). 

FT will service Women and children that are experiencing hardships due to domestic violence, loss of income or housing etc.. The goal of FT is to assist families with their transition to self-sufficiency through their participation and diligent efforts to thrive and be independent.
