Mission Statement
The United Fathers Coalition was originated in response to the need for more unity and involvement of fathers in our communities. Our aim is to project a positive male role model back into our neighborhoods by coming together as responsible adult fathers, with love, compassion and support for our children. We believe that the lack of a father?s leadership in the family has led to the loss of children to gangs, drugs and prison. The U.F.C. addresses the problem of fatherless homes by providing programs in which the children in those homes can have positive interaction with male role models.

They also have a basketball clinic is to enhance children?s physical activities and social skills. The U.F.C. has a homeless feeding program that also assist them with finding housing and employment.
