Back-to-School Giveaway: Gear Up with Dad!

We know how tough it can be for fathers trying to get their kids ready for a new school year—especially when funds are tight. That’s why we host our annual Back-to-School Supplies Giveaway. Dads and kids can come together to receive free backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and all the essentials to start the school year off right. It’s more than just supplies—it’s a moment of pride for fathers and joy for their children. No child should go to school unprepared, and no dad should feel alone in that mission.

Holiday Events

Every year, we offer fun, safe, and interactive holiday events for the entire family. Whether Halloween, Christmas, Easter etc, fathers and their children can celebrate together in a secure and joyful environment. From contests to music and games, it’s a moment full of laughter and bonding. This event isn’t just about celebrating holidays —it’s about giving coparents and their kids a special moment to create lasting memories. Come join us and make this year the most heartwarming one yet!

Protect your family and learn to Save a Life!

When seconds count, knowledge is power. Fatherhood Matters offers Life-Saving CPR Classes open to fathers and other community who seek to be prepared in an emergency. Our Red Cross certified training partner focuses on real-life scenarios—like how to help a choking child or perform CPR in critical moments—so dads can respond with confidence. Whether it's your own child or someone else’s, knowing what to do can mean the difference between panic and protection. This isn’t just a class—it’s a chance to become a hero.

Bonding Moments: Paint Nights, Dances & More

FM believes in strengthening the bond between fathers and their children through positive shared experiences and fun! From Paint With Dad nights to Summer Barbecues or a heartwarming Father-Child dance. These events are designed to promote healthy co-parenting, bring joy and connection, while also creating memories that last a lifetime. Many fathers only get a limited time with their kids—so when they’re together, we say make sure to make it count. These moments aren’t just family activities—they're bridges that build stronger relationships and happier families.

Mentorship That Changes Lives

Mentorship That Changes Lives Fatherhood Matters partners with multiple schools to provide mentorship programs that give students—especially those without consistent father figures—guidance, encouragement, and direction. Some of these kids are navigating tough situations like custody battles or feeling lost about their future. Our dedicated mentors step in as positive male role models to talk about life, goals, career, and making smart choices. This program is transforming lives, one student at a time—and it’s growing stronger every day thanks to the real relationships being built between the classroom and community.
