Mission Statement
Annual Events
We educate, empower and support underserved families through personalized programs and coaching to increase quality of life and build resilient communities.
• Fashion Forward—August 7, 2021
Service Area Focused in northwest Springfield with programs branching out to surrounding communities and rural areas.
Funding Our funding comes from sources including our incredibly generous donors, our community hub sustainability model and grants from various organizations dedicated to improving the lives of the most vulnerable populations in our community.
12 Month Goals In order to continue providing education with exceptional programming that helps members reduce debt, increase credit scores and continue thriving, our goal is to raise $115,000 from our community. We are currently in the process of putting our curriculum together in order to provide this effective poverty reduction method to other communities and rural areas.
• Giving Tuesday – December 1, 2021 • Fashion Forward – August 6, 2022
How People and Businesses Can Help Local people and businesses are the foundation of a thriving city. For us to continue impacting the community at such a deep level, we ask for support from our community through financial aid, the donation of goods and volunteerism.
Testimonials Being part of this organization has given me true HOPE in spite of the daily ups and downs that come my way. I want my community to know that the most important thing is that I have gone from SURVIVING to THRIVING. – Daisy It has helped me to create a budget and set goals to both cut spending and start a savings account. This and other financial training have helped me become more accountable with my finances as well as the Drew Lewis Foundation team keeping me that way. -Jeffery
