Youth for Christ of Northern Indiana (YFCNIN) announces a generous contribution of $190,000 made by the Foellinger Foundation for two-year program support of YFCNIN’s City Life program.

“Foellinger has supported us for many years and has been critical to the success of our City Life program in southeast Fort Wayne. We (YFCNIN) are working hard to equip and empower young people to rise up as leaders within their own communities – this creates hope for lasting change. Foellinger Foundation’s continued support is helping us serve these young people and positively impact this community,” says Chris Todia, CEO.

This grant allows YFCNIN’s City Life program to further impact teenagers in Fort Wayne by providing basic health & safety, educational success, economic literacy, civic literacy, and spiritual & moral literacy. By providing these resources, young people’s lives are changed, as well as the communities they live in.
