This fiscal year, our Clothing Closet was utilized 1,041 times. 37857 0 33189 Spread Your Wings: Spread Your Wings is our scholarship program so kids can participate in extracurricular activities. We believe children who engage in athletic activities, music, dance, or similar pursuits develop self-confidence and establish meaningful relationships. This scholarship program is for ages 2-18. Children can sign up for music lessons, dances, sports, and camps. FHF covers membership fees, apparel, and any equipment needed. Each child receives a $500 scholarship for their chosen activities; FHF gave out 163 scholarships this fiscal year. 252 0 1000 Back-to-School Rally: Back-to-School Rally is held each year for our children in foster care to help them prepare and get pumped to go back to school. FHF gives them all their school supplies needed. Most caregivers use this time to utilize our Shoe Vouchers, and we have our barbers at the event for our Free Haircut Voucher Program, so they look their best. FHF prepared 772 children in foster care to return to school this fiscal year and gave out 309 haircut vouchers. 11236 0 5500 Senior Celebration: With a graduation rate for foster children of only 52%, FHF takes time to celebrate our seniors through our Senior Celebration. FHF helps with party décor and sends congratulations with a card for this special occasion. 5611 0 0 Happy Birthday Bundles: Continuing with the celebrations, to show our appreciation for our children in foster care, FHF put together Happy Birthday Bundles that included party décor, cake for making, and cake accessories needed to bake the cake. This fiscal year, we helped 63 children in foster care celebrate their birthdays. 7276 0 7575 Soaring Towards Success: Due to the instability of our children moving homes and their traumatic experiences, school often falls behind. We offer a tutoring program aimed at helping these kids in their academic journey and completion of high school. We get these children one-on-one attention for school topics with a tutor in their area. FHF assisted 17 children in this program this fiscal year. 0 0 1000 Senior Photos: To celebrate this occasion and mark this milestone through our Senior Photos Program, FHF offers a one-hour photo session, with digital copies of their photos to use for the senior photos/ graduation/ yearbook.
