What an amazing accomplishment last week! Each quarter, we host fundraisers/drives for our Non-Profit Partner of Choice to assist with their immediate needs. This quarter of 2024, we were able to collect $1,000 in items for hygiene, clothes, bibles, snacks, etc and donations dedicated for the boys of Crossroads Hope Academy.

Not only that, but the fundraiser also allowed for $896.00 to go towards tickets to take the boys to Sunsplash to kick the Summer off right!

Pictured here, you will also see additional funding going to our partner, in the amount of $15,000.00. This is for Crossroads to have large picnic tables in order to hang outside of their campus building and enjoying the nature/garden around them!

Can't thank all donors and Integrity Employee Leasing, Inc. enough for their assistance on making this happen!

It wouldn't be almost Christmas without a wonderful gift exchange!!

Once again Integrity Employee Leasing, Inc. has come through on helping the foundation in collecting NEW bed sheets and pillow sets for our Non-Profit Partner of Choice Crossroads Hope Academy!

We were able to collect and donate 48 sets for the boys at Crossroads; just in time for Christmas and to start fresh in a New Year!

Twin Sheets/Pillows and many other supplies are a constant need for Crossroads at both campuses. They have an ongoing Amazon Wishlist for anyone that is interested in helping!

Integrity Charitable Foundation wants to thank ALL donors in helping the board meet the recent commitment on our 2021-2022 Non-Profit Partner of Choice. We couldn't have assisted children and families in need, especially following Hurricane Ian, without YOUR help!

New Non-Profit Partner of Choice Announcement!
It is with great pleasure that effective 7/01/2023, the Integrity Charitable Foundation (ICF) has chosen Crossroads Hope Academy as the 2023-2024 Non-Profit Partner of Choice. ICF has committed to collect and donate $50,000 to Crossroads Hope Academy over a 1-year commitment!

Also, The Integrity Charitable Foundation wants to thank A Family Repair and Robert Hensley, COO of Integrity Employee Leasing for donating the time and labor to help our new Partner of Choice with remodel projects to improve the current condition of the building that these boys reside in!

Integrity Charitable Foundation pledged to raise $60,000 in its first year to help families through Better Together. On June 20, they hit that goal and recently made their last check presentation of the year. The organization has been a tremendous supporter all year, including employee donations, food and gifts for families in need during the holidays. We are grateful for your unwavering support. Thank you!

Because of YOUR generous support helping us reach our $60,000 goal, we're proud to share some exciting ways we have been able to make a difference for children and their families through our Non-Profit Partner of Choice, Better Together!

Through the generous contributions from Integrity Charity Foundation, Better Together was able to expand their services and reach a broader population in need. Funding was used to enhance our programs, provide essential support to vulnerable families, empower job seekers, and strengthen communities throughout Southwest Florida. This includes:

💖 3,036 children served across Southwest Florida, with more than 98% that were able to reunify with parents within 41 days.

💖 2,649 children assisted following Hurricane Ian through offering parent support resources.

💖 686 job seekers served over the last 18 months in Southwest Florida—half of those are hired on the spot, and 90% find work within six weeks.

💖 Over 500 volunteers mobilized to come alongside children and families.

💖 A reduced need for government intervention. A single stay in Better Families costs an average of $1,200 per child in donations and saves Florida taxpayers about $30,000 a year.

Thank you ALL for making this possible!
