ABOUT US
FREEDOM WITHIN WALLS
Freedom Within Walls exists to equip children and families to break through systemic barriers. Through our programming, families are utilizing opportunities, tools and resources to obtain freedom holistically.
In 2009, FREEDOM WITHIN WALLS was established in hopes of extinguishing hunger among children and providing enrichment programs for those impoverished. Our mission is to repair, cultivate, and uplift individuals in challenging situations and circumstances by providing nutritional, recreational, and educational programs and opportunities.
Becoming overwhelmingly aware of the alarming demographic of children, who, due to the lack of supervision from working parents and/or economical restraints do not receive nutritional meals at home, FREEDOM WITHIN WALLS developed feeding programs in which we purchase and distribute healthy snacks and meals for over 5,000 underserved children throughout the year. Each program is designed to provide assistance for the nutrition gap in underserved communities, ensuring that children get the nutritious meals they need when school lets out. Since serving our first meal in 2010, Freedom Within Walls has served over 2,000,000 meals and impacted the lives of over 25,000 families through feeding and educational enrichment programming and various community provision initiatives.
In addition to the Feeding Programs we have successfully operated for the past 14 years, Freedom Within Walls is continuously developing various Out-of-School Time Extended and Full-Day Academic and Enrichment, Parent and Family Development, and Holistic Wrap-Around Community Programming in the South Carolina Upstate and Charlotte, North Carolina Metropolitan areas focused on upward mobility and self-sufficiency for youth and adults.
