Description

Founded in 2017 as a humble food pantry within our school walls, Free 2 Dream has blossomed into a beacon of hope and support for underprivileged youth and their families. What began as a simple endeavor to address hunger among students has evolved into a multifaceted organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and providing a pathway to success.

Over the years, we have expanded our mission beyond the confines of food provision to encompass a comprehensive range of services. In addition to offering essential items like clothing, hygiene products, and school supplies, we have recognized the critical importance of technology in today's educational landscape. Thus, we have invested in providing school technology such as laptops, tablets, and internet access to ensure that every student has the tools they need to excel academically.
