Our story started after seeing the depth of the impact that the Covid-19 Pandemic had on families in our community...
The pandemic hasn’t been easy for anyone, but for some families it’s been absolutely devastating. Loved ones have been lost, jobs have been lost, and in the darkest moments, even hope has been lost. As a result, many families throughout our community have had unexpected financial pressures placed on them and are struggling to get by.
The Better Days Foundation was started as a way to support families enduring hardships caused by Covid-19. Initially, our goal was to provide food, school supplies and warm clothing for 5 families per month. However, once we started brainstorming we realized that we could have a greater impact on our community as a whole. We are currently planning fun (and safe) community building fundraisers to bring families and members of our beautiful community together to support our cause of poverty alleviation.
We believe that no family should have to choose between sending their children to school with a healthy lunch and keeping the power on in their home. We also believe that the only way to overcome adversity and push towards better days is to do it together as a community. To stay updated on our fundraising events and activity follow us on social media!
We value compassion towards all members of our community, regardless of their background or circumstances. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that supports everyone who is struggling.
We believe that diversity is a strength, and we are committed to involving people from all backgrounds and experiences in our efforts to alleviate poverty. We seek to create a sense of belonging for everyone who wants to be a part of our community.
We recognize that historical and systemic injustices have created barriers for some members of our community. We are committed to using our resources to address these issues and to being accountable for creating a more equitable and just society.
We believe that inclusion is essential for building a resilient community that can overcome adversity. We are committed to supporting and empowering all members of our community through their toughest times, and we are determined to continue our efforts to alleviate poverty and provide assistance to those in need.
