To our beloved community,
With a heart full of gratitude and humility, I want to personally thank each of you who has stood beside Omni Rootz Youth Foundation, whether through prayer, service, financial support, or simply sharing our vision. By God’s grace and through the dedication of this community, we have been able to touch the lives of countless young people and families. For this, I am forever grateful.
After much reflection and prayer, I must share that at this time, our foundation does not have the mental or financial capacity to carry out our quarterly youth summits, including Project Feed 5000. While this is a difficult decision, it is a necessary one. We are choosing to pause temporarily in order to reset, restructure, and ensure that our foundation is built on the strongest possible foundation, one that will allow us to continue adding value, knowledge, and opportunity to future generations.
This is not an end, but rather a time of restoration and preparation. We remain committed to our mission and will return with a renewed vision and the stability needed to serve in excellence.
We ask for your continued prayers, patience, and support as we take this season to regroup. Thank you for believing in Omni Rootz Youth Foundation, for believing in our youth, and for believing in the power of community. Together, with God’s guidance, we will rise stronger and continue to make an impact for generations to come.
With gratitude and love,
Shayla Griffin
Founder, Omni Rootz Youth Foundation
