Foundation Support

 the grant that the Godbey Giardina Building Hope Foundation gifted Truth in Nature.  As you know this grant was for electrical repair/upgrade and air conditioning at the new regional facility.  This project will provide mentors and boys a safe and fun area to hold our overnight programs for years to come.  We are happy to report the project has been completed, and all funds have been used for the completion of the project.  We are happy to report that we will start running our monthly programs at the facility on May 16, 2025. This will be a valuable resource as we continue to reach the fatherless boys in and around the St. Tammany and Washington Parish area.  Please find attached pictures of the completed project.
 
We want to extend our thanks to each of you for investing into this ministry and the mission to engage and reach the fatherless boys of this nation for Jesus.  If you have any follow up questions please let me know.
