I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for your support and generosity. During 2022 we were able to impact youth and families in our community, through our programs and events.

We launched Stronger Sons, our mentoring program for young men growing up without a father or a strong father in their lives. Hope Leadership Academy, our before and after school program continues to provide a safe environment for children to learn and engage in enrichment activities. Through our Community Engagement Program, we offered free learning classes and were able to giveaway food, Easter baskets and backpacks at various community events.

We are grateful for your generosity and with your continued support, we look forward to helping more families in the year to come.
A Season of Gratitude Events
The heart of Christmas is reflected in serving and giving to others. Stronger Than My Father would like to thank Brian Sweatt and everyone at Our Church Ministries who made this day of giving possible to some of our children.

Through a partnership with One Generation Away and Destiny Adoption Services, we had a tremendous day of giving this year. We gave away 250 turkeys and boxes of food and more diapers than we could count Thank you to all of our volunteer who came out! Our Stronger Sons Mentees were there working and helping to give back to their communities!
STRONGER SONS Mentoring Program
Building Strong Leaders!
Our mentoring program for young men who are fatherless or without a strong father in their lives is working hard to help break the fatherless cycle.

In addition to serving during the Day of Giving Thanksgiving event, the Stronger Sons mentees have been very busy.

This year our students worked hard to put on a fantastic Christmas Program for family and friends. They celebrated by singing carols and visiting with Santa Claus. It was a wonderful evening filled with smiles and laughter.
