Our Summer Read and Feed Program is over for 2024.  It was a huge success!  We want to give a shoutout again to HEB for their grant to help feed our families. You are amazing HEB! 

Also --We have been given a school bus to transform into a mobile library

it will go into low income neighborhoods and apartment complexes to reach children and moms of infants and toddlers who have a hard time getting to the local library.  we will offer tutoring and parenting classes on our bus.

Please consider donating to our bus transformation

And finally, our third Life skills and more club is coming up

We have a LIFE SKILLS AND MORE CLUB planned for August 20 which is for young moms from 13-21.  Our speaker will be Michelle Segundo who will talk about controlling your "mamma bear emotions".  We will also have dinner and will continue working our Quiet Books for our children.  You can also start one if you have not come before.  Child care is provided.

2FEET OUT Ministries

OUR GOAL AT 2FEET OUT MINISTRIES IS TO HELP THOSE IN GENERATIONAL POVERTY GET 2 FEET OUT AND STAY OUT! GENERATIONAL POVERTY IS DIFFERENT FROM SITUATIONAL POVERTY. SITUATIONAL POVERTY IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A SUDDEN CRISIS OR LOSS AND IS OFTEN TEMPORARY. GENERATIONAL POVERTY IS POVERTY IN FAMILIES WHERE AT LEAST TWO GENERATIONS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, AND THEY ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE TOOLS TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR SITUATIONS. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHILDREN BORN INTO POVERTY: 

--THEY THINK IT'S THEIR FAULT: THEY FEEL GREAT SHAME.THEY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE JUDGE THEM.

--LACK OF EDUCATION IS THE MAIN CAUSE AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY TO FOLLOW IN THEIR PARENTS' FOOTSTEPS AS THEY ARE THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DROP OF OF HIGH SCHOOL. TEEN PREGNANCY IS ALSO MORE LIKELY.

--THEY GIVE UP HOPE: THEY SEE HOW MUCH THEIR PARENTS STRUGGLE AND FIGURE THEY ALWAYS WILL TOO. THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THEIR LIVES EVER BEING DIFFERENT.
