Services

FOTC serves hundreds of children every year. FOTC looks to place an emphasis on the direct needs and opportunities of children in our communities and schools. Using an online application, the agency partners with local schools and agencies to identify and advocate for the needs of children they are serving.

Emergent Needs:

- prescriptions, eyeglasses, dental visits, beds and cribs, safety gates, special clothing needs such as coats and boots, tutoring costs, counseling fees, etc.

Opportunities and quality of life:

- camp, field trips, music lessons, special clubs, recreational costs, etc.

Special Programs

Children will be identified by our partner agencies to benefit from our Back-to-School Program. Schools will be provided a customized list of supplies which will they will distribute to students returning to school or as needed throughout the school year.

"Coats for Kids" is a new program in partnership with the Knights-of-Columbus of Caledonia-Mumford. New coats are made available during the winter months.

Annual Christmas Program Takes a Break

In 2021, The Board of Directors voted to suspend the Annual Christmas Program until further notice. FOTC funds and time are increasingly being used to provide support for families experiencing emergent needs.
