Festa

Festa is ending poverty through life-changing relationships. We are a place where children and families are connected to resources and neighbors so community is built and hope is restored!

We offer year-round programming to support children and families. During the school year, we offer 3-Generation Family ESL. This program serves entire families – 3 months to grandparent age – with the education each person needs to take steps out of poverty. While adults are learning English, their children are fed dinner, receiving academic support, and engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities. Early Childhood classrooms provide love and care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, while providing an introduction to the preschool setting.

During the summer, we offer Free Summer Lunch Camp. Now in its 17th year, this program welcomes children facing poverty from culturally diverse backgrounds to join us daily for friendship, recreation, reading support, special activities, and a nutritious, free lunch. This program combats suburban poverty by providing children with a safe space to grow, learn, and be part of a supportive and positive community.
