As part of our local community outreach, The Father's Table Foundation supports the work of the BETA Center in Orlando, Florida. The Center's Emergency Pantry is a key component of their Community Support Program, designed to stabilize families in crisis and to promote and strengthen healthy family functioning. 

The Pantry makes available food baskets, diaper bags, baby food and formula, and layettes to at-risk families at the time of their greatest need. For more than three decades the BETA Center has served those in the Greater Orlando area most at-risk for economic crisis and homelessness, typically low income families headed by a single female. Once emergency needs are met the Center guides those receiving assistance to life skills counseling and other support services to help them achieve, and ultimately maintain, self-sufficiency. 

In addition to Emergency Family Support, the BETA Center also provides Parenting Education, Pregnant/Parenting Teen Programs, Neighborhood-based Family Services, a Residential Program for homeless families, and the F.A.S.T. Track Program (Future Achievement and Success for Teens). For more information on the BETA Center visit www.betacenter.org.
