  • Alys Foundation Matching Gift

    FFT has been forced to cut back on the amount of food going into our bags for the rest of the school year due to the impacts of inflation and food costs. 
    Our friends at the Alys Foundation will match donations up to $15,000 to help FFT RE-Fill our backpacks. 
    With these funds, students in our services can have the food they need every week.
