We Did It!

Thank You for Making Our Campaign a Success

We have reached our goal! FareStart's new Foodservice Apprenticeship Program has been successfully launched and funded. Your gifts will provide training, support and a real chance to move up to a living wage for apprentices. We will continue to develop the program and enroll more individuals with barriers to employment to allow them to leave homelessness and poverty behind for good - all thanks to your generosity.

Your Gift Has a Direct Impact

"There's a saying I've thought about a lot these last few years. It's kept me going through tough times, and will keep me grounded:

'Your past does not determine where you go. It only determines where you start.'

I'm so grateful that FareStart took a chance on me. The road ahead won't be easy. I know I have to keep working hard - not just to advance my career, but also to repair the relationships in my life."

Thank you for making this story - and many more - possible.
