Community foundation

Books, meals, after-school care. Since 1994.

For thirty years, Northgate Foundation has met kids and families where they are—with programs rooted in the neighborhoods we serve, run by people who live here too.

Since 1994

A safe place from last bell to dinner

When school lets out, 184 kids walk through our doors instead of waiting on an empty porch. Homework help, arts, sports, and mentors who know every name—weekdays from 3pm to 6pm, always free.

Dinner on the table, no questions asked

Every week, volunteers cook and carry 2,300 hot meals to families across Hough, Glenville, and Fairfax. No paperwork maze, no line in the cold—just neighbors feeding neighbors.

“My daughter walks out of after-school taller than she walked in. She's more confident, and she actually asks to go to homework help now.”
