Our Mission
We’re here to empower and support the unique needs of low-income youth, children, adults, veterans, immigrants, and seniors in our community through education and social services.
Our Vision
To help individuals and families navigate through life challenges and strengthen and empowered them to live their best lives!
Our Goal
We realized early on that before we can truly help the students in our programs, we must reach out to the students parents.
Our goal is to engage 1000 new families each year to move from poverty to self-sufficiency, to promote good mental and physical health to the community, to encourage renters to become homeowners, and ignite individuals to become active citizens of their communities and instilling a sense of responsibility.
What we do
For all who call Adell Foundation home, we offer safe surroundings where individuals can explore, discover, and create stable families and futures.
Our Purpose
We utilize our Principles of Personal Development Coaching for youth and adults which include:
• Positive Thinking and Language
• Peaceful Conflict Resolution
• Responsible Decision Making
We partner with other organizations and nonprofits to assist families to design their plan toward a strong family unit and self-sufficiency.
What we offer through our programs:
Food Insecurity prevention programs such as Food Talk, Cooking Matters, Back Yard Garden program, and Farm to Table Plant-based diet programs.
We also host weekly and monthly programing listed below:

Engaging in social activities during the senior years has been linked to numerous health benefits. Regular interaction in a social context, such as a senior center, allows senior citizens to stay socially active, promoting both their physical and mental health. Healthy habits such as participating in an exercise class or strolling in the local park not only provide physical activity but also present opportunities to meet new friends. These interactions can lead to improved cardiovascular health, enhanced mobility, and a stronger immune system.
Socializing also positively impacts mental health. Participating in mentally stimulating activities like card games or art classes helps keep the brain active and sharp, reducing the risk of cognitive decline. In addition, seniors who regularly spend time with their peers often report better moods and lower rates of depression and anxiety.
