Appetite 4 Humanity has a strong focus on changing the lives of children born at a disadvantage in society. Not only do we want to change children’s lives, but we also try and help their families and the environment around them. With your help, we have the ability to create productive members of society and uplift communities plagued by gun violence and drugs.
We are trying to combat problems like childhood obesity, food insecurities, and educational gaps. In addition to helping our children we provide the following to our community:
- Provide training to adults in the areas of job readiness, job retention, computer literacy, and entrepreneurship.
- Provide various opportunities to our customers (i.e. networking sessions, business development, recruitment activities, etc.).
- Provide mentoring, teaching, and recognition for academic excellence to children ages 6 to19 and above.
- Provide a place where you can always go to get help.
