We Feed. We Educate. We Serve. Festa is a movement of caring neighbors who want to love and serve their neighbors. All are dedicated to serving our community and helping families overcome poverty. Connecting families who are experiencing poverty to life-improving resources is at the heart of our mission. Our work extends beyond a wide range of programs, including teaching English as a second language to adults, supporting children with homework, connecting families to local resources and children's summer camp teeming with healthy food, education, games, positive friends and role models.

We are committed to feeding children and families emotionally as well as physically. All with the goal of ending poverty. Every day we all work together to mobilize the community, building relationships and connecting people across socio-economic, cultural, racial, ethnic and religious barriers. We partner with children and families and provide resources to help them take steps out of poverty.
