Falling Leaves, Full Calendars — Autumn is Our Busiest Season Yet

As we step into some of the busiest months of the year for Family & Youth Initiatives, we are reminded of how grateful we are for the opportunities to strengthen and uplift the communities we serve. Without your support, encouragement, and belief in our mission, these moments of growth and outreach wouldn’t be possible. 

It is because of your unwavering support that we are able to pursue our passion for empowering families and building stronger futures together. We could not do this without you, and words cannot fully express how much we value the trust and partnership we’ve maintained in our community.

As we look forward to the coming months, we invite you to join us in making an even greater impact through two meaningful opportunities:

We are proud to be the benefactors for the annual Medway, Ohio Highway Hikers Motorcycle Club Toy Run, a worthwhile tradition dedicated to ensuring that children across Clark County experience the joy of Christmas. Every year, this incredible event collects and distributes thousands of toys to local boys and girls who might otherwise go without during the holiday season.

This year, FYI is expanding our involvement, and we would love for you to be a part of it. Whether it’s through toy donations or volunteering with the collection process, your support will help us brighten the holidays for countless children. Stay tuned for more information on how you can help! 

Our annual Harvesting Hope dinner is more than just our largest fundraising event; it is a powerful celebration of the work we do and the future we envision together.

This year, we are thrilled to introduce a new feature: an art show open to anyone within the FYI network. Whether you are a supporter, client, student, or someone with a story to tell through your creativity, we invite you to contribute a piece and share your perspective with our community. 

Attending our event will offer an opportunity to experience our mission in action through interactive experiences and demonstrations.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available, and whether large or small, every contribution directly supports life-changing programs that empower families across our region.
