Lend-a-Hand, Uplift-a-Child Foundation, Inc.               

The Lend-a-Hand, Uplift-a-Child Foundation, Inc is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that provides mentorship and leadership development programs for young women and girls who reside in the Fredericksburg City and surrounding areas.

Despite our limited resources in this challenging economy, we have worked diligently to address issues that the young girls face on a day to day basis i.e; cyber bullying, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, health concerns to name a few, as well as other important issues that disproportionately impact them directly.  

A Critical Need

As each board member of the Lend-A-Hand, Uplift-A-Child Foundation came together, we quickly found out why we were so passionate about establishing a platform and “safe haven” for our young ladies.  This would be to assist them through mentorship in order to develop and grow to become successful not only in their communities, but in all of their future endeavors. Yet, with more and more research, we have confirmed that this effort can no longer be considered voluntary on our parts…it has became mandatory!

You see, the statistics are alarmingly against us.  So much so until one might say “what’s the use?”  Yet, we know that we as well as many other parents are ready to commit to working together in order to make a difference. 

We Are Ready!

• We are ready to show the world that these statistics do not have to be our future. 
• We are committed to taking back our responsibility of raising our youth and not allowing this to define us or our children any longer.
• We can, and will become better!
