2020 FIght against childhood hunger

Due to COVID-19, FOCUS ON YOUR FUTURE has redirected its resources to focus on the nutrutional needs of children in the community.  This pandemic has caused a great number of children to become food deficient and are more effected during the summer months without school meal plans to count on.  We understand children are better prepared for success if they eat a healthy meal everyday.  FOYF is looking to help eradicate childhood hunger through School Meal Partnerships and Summer Meal Programs.

Please help us in our efforts to serve the community with your donation.
