Our Foundation helps individuals and families in need meet essential, everyday needs through direct community support.

Donate

Our Belief

Change starts with one. We believe that impact is ultimately a series of compounding events and whether micro or macro – every single contribution counts.

Our Focus Area

What we do:

Provide clothing and essential items to individuals experiencing hardship.
Support local organizations serving people experiencing homelessness.
Direct resources toward immediate, tangible community impact.

Making an Impact

How we work:

We partner with established, trusted community organizations to ensure resources are distributed responsibly and directly to those who need them most.

Why it matters:

Access to basic necessities is foundational. When people have what they need to stay warm, nourished, and supported, they are better positioned to take their next step forward.

Impact snapshot:

Over the past several years, the FTS Foundation has distributed over $40,000 in clothing, financial support and essential items through local community partners, serving thousands of individuals in need.

Annual fundraiser

Summer Soirée

July 2025 marked our second Annual FTS Foundation Summer Soirée, our most successful fundraising event yet. Hosted at Native Eatery and Bar, the evening made a significant impact on our community initiatives, featuring exclusive offerings from Western New York vendors, delectable bites, and exciting raffles. We were thrilled to welcome family, friends, and partners who joined us in making a difference, helping us raise over $25,000. Every dollar raised directly supports the FTS Foundation’s mission to end homelessness, promote workforce development, reduce carbon footprints, and uplift those in need throughout the Rochester community.
