Today, the Outreach & Impact Foundation was honored to welcome Pamela Moore, Executive Director of Detroit Food Academy, to the Christian Financial headquarters. During her visit, we proudly presented the organization with a $500 grant in support of its Afterschool Leadership Program.

Through this impactful program, Detroit youth receive weekly culturally relevant, accessible, and empowering culinary education at schools and community sites. This grant will help provide fresh ingredients, cooking supplies, take-home meal kits, and enrichment activities.

We are proud to support Detroit Food & Entrepreneurship Academy as they empower youth to cultivate essential life skills and confidence through food education, career exploration, mentorship, and industry immersion.

Together, we're helping cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. 💙
