Fountain Community Enrichment, Inc.
Enrich... Educate... Empower...
About Us
We facilitate an annual Fountain Community Health Fair where individuals and families can access free preventive health screenings for diabetes, high cholesterol, Cancer and HIV. Community Giveaways are organized yearly to help lessen the burden of financial hardship on struggling families. During the fair, individuals and families are also connected to community health partners and support services that can further assist them as health issues are discovered. Education through preventive health related workshops is also provided during the fair, thus educating our community members, and increasing health awareness.
The Joy of Giving is our winter community event that provides children toys for Christmas, clothing, and small household items to families in need. We know that holiday season can be a tough time for the community, and it is our joy to give to those who cannot yet provide toys and gifts for their families. We combat hunger by qualifying the neediest community members for free food, on a monthly basis all year-round through food distribution from the Fountain Food Pantry. Our goal is to support families in need thus helping them to graduate out of the recipient bracket.
