Mission Statement: From Your Father aims to level the playing field for children in fatherless homes by providing essential resources and support that encourage them to reach their greatest potential and know that they are loved, valued, and appreciated.

Counties Served: Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson, and Montgomery

About: From Your father is a faith centered non-profit organization that serves Middle Tennessee. We help fatherless children and single moms in the community by providing resources that build a stronger foundation. Some of these resources include boxes filled with essential items like laundry detergent, toilet tissue, paper towels, diapers, wipes, trash bags, food, organic produce, and other household items. It is not From Your Father’s aim to simply deliver food to single moms. Instead, FYF establishes lifelong relationships with each participant. It is our hope to create a village where all feel welcome, supported, and loved by God. To that end, our team of staff and volunteers supports each participant by providing for their emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical needs.

Did you Know?

• From Your Father initially started off serving the homeless prior to helping fatherless children and single moms. We realized the importance of helping the community, so we empowered families to give out “love your neighbor” bags to neighbors or those who did not have permanent homes. Many of the boxes that go out to the families have handwritten notes on them from our volunteers.
• Our goal is to raise enough money to buy a home to house all the resources we provide to the community in one location.
• The primary focus of From Your Father are the needs of children in fatherless homes and single moms with our goal being to build whole and healthy homes.

How will funds be used?

From Your Father will use the funds to support our programs that meet the needs of children and families in fatherless homes.
