Mission
Father Matters is committed to empowering individuals, strengthening families, and building healthier communities by providing comprehensive, person-centered services that remove barriers to success. We serve socially and economically underserved populations through employment and workforce development, reentry services, parenting education, family reunification, supervised visitation, SNAP outreach, and personalized case management. Our team connects participants to essential resources, including food assistance, clothing and household goods, transportation support, work-related supplies, housing navigation, education, healthcare, and other community-based services. Through collaborative partnerships, community resource fairs, evidence-based programs, and compassionate support, Father Matters helps individuals and families achieve stability, strengthen relationships, increase self-sufficiency, and create lasting opportunities for long-term personal, family, and economic success.
Program accomplishments
- Our first major accomplishment in 2025 was delivering comprehensive case management and skill-building services that empowered individuals and families to achieve greater stability, self-sufficiency, and long-term success. Through personalized case management, our team worked one-on-one with participants to identify goals, develop individualized action plans, address barriers, and connect them to essential resources. Services included SNAP outreach and application assistance, employment and educational opportunities, job readiness training, housing navigation, transportation assistance, work shoe vouchers, birth certificate and identification fee vouchers, family reunification services, parenting support, and other supportive services tailored to each participant's unique needs. To further strengthen outcomes, Father Matters provided workshops in life skills, workforce development, financial literacy, parenting, digital literacy, and personal development, equipping participants with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools needed to secure employment, strengthen their families, increase financial stability, and build a foundation for long-term personal and economic success.Expenses $149,913 · revenue $149,913
- Our second key accomplishment in 2025 was expanding the impact of our Resource Room and Quarterly Resource Fairs by increasing access to essential goods and supportive services for individuals and families in need. In addition to distributing donated items, Father Matters purchased critical supplies to ensure participants had consistent access to necessities when donations were insufficient. These resources included food, hygiene products, clothing, shoes, household goods, school supplies, diapers, baby items, work-related supplies, and other essential items. The Resource Room serves as a vital hub for addressing immediate basic needs, while our Quarterly Resource Fairs connect participants with community partners, health and social service providers, employment resources, and public benefits. Together, these initiatives reduce barriers, improve access to critical resources, promote stability, and help individuals and families move toward greater self-sufficiency and long-term success.Expenses $140,309 · revenue $140,309
