Our Foundation for Children, Inc. (OFC) was established in 2001 and became a non-profit incorporated "Family Preservation Service". The purpose of the organization is to expand and include services for the youth of Mecklenburg County and the surrounding Counties. Our mission rests on four cornerstones: The Family, Community, Education and Culture. OFC promotes intellectual, physical and moral development of children by providing them with a safe and challenging atmosphere in which to grow. OFC is dedicated to the development of the child in the context of family and community. Through the experiences to which our children will be exposed, we instill in them a hunger for knowledge, respect for themselves and others, discipline, and the skills necessary to identify and fulfill their personal goals.  We are committed to improving the quality of life for all participants and preserving our nrighborhoods, by ensuring that participants are able to access and utilize the available social and economic services and support systems.
