The founders of The Formerly Incarcerated Giving Back organization sponsored a Father’s Day celebration at BOSS' East Oakland Neighborhood Impact Hub that highlighted a "Just Serve" spirit that recognized dads who want to “Give and Serve” their families and communities, reaching over 150 men in deep East Oakland.
Fathers from all walks of life, languages, and nationalities attended. It was a testament to the Formerly Incarcerated Giving Back organization. Guests received various gifts, including clothing, work pants, socks, toiletries, and gift cards.
Fathers were offered counseling and services to cover back rent, rental deposit, utility bills, credit repair, and much more.
