We have three programs in place that are designed to improve the quality of life for underprivileged children and their families:
The Coats of Love Project provides coats and winter jackets to families of children in Fort Worth Texas who are not able to purchase winter wear.
Fresh Fruit Friday is our project that provides fresh fruit and healthy snacks to young students in economically disadvantaged areas of Fort Worth, Texas.
The Real MVP Project is our program designed to encourage and inspire men to be more active in the lives of their children. It is designed to offer mentorship to young fathers through positive interaction with older, more experienced fathers.
In our efforts to build stronger families and communities, Lockett Family Charitable Foundation contributed to the local community in 2017 by:
Supplying snacks and school supplies to students at Briscoe Elementary School and Highland Hills Community Center in Fort Worth.
Providing coats and winter clothing to children throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
Donating supplies and resources to support the After School Program and the Teen Advisory Council at Highland Hills Community Center (Fort Worth).
Giving gift cards to disadvantaged families to help purchase groceries, gas and other life necessities.
Here is a list of a few of the great things that Lockett Family Charitable Foundation accomplished in 2018:
Provided brand new Kindle Fire Tablets to 45 youth participants in the After School Program at Highland Hills Community Center.
Provided brand new winter coats to 140 children & teens in Tarrant County.
Provided fresh fruit and healthy snacks to children living in several economically disadvantaged communities throughout Fort Worth.
Our greatest need is funding. We would like to expand the depth and scope of our organization's programs. We also need volunteers and community partners.
