FFSC’s goal is to break the cycle of poverty, child neglect, abuse and welfare dependence by educating and preparing fathers to become responsible parents with the financial stability to support their children materially and the parenting skills to support them emotionally and developmentally. Since its first class of men in 1998, FFSC has supported nearly 22,000 men on their journey to Responsible Fatherhood, benefitting over 53,000 sons and daughters who have more involved dads! Check out FFSC’s Success Stories!
Our annual dinner, A Toast To Fathers is an important way for us to educate the people of St. Louis about our impact on the community at large, to recognize the accomplishments of our graduates and to generate a significant amount of income to support the ongoing operation of Fathers & Families Support Center (FFSC).
