"Travis Scott signed my shoe!" - 11 year old, J. Thomas; Program participant.
We had an absolute blast at the Cactus Jack Foundation Celebrity Softball Game, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to bring over 30 incredible young people and their parents, as well as over 60 members of our under-served, under-resourced and under-exposed communities we serve.
Seeing the smiles on their faces as they got to meet their favorite celebrities, witnessing the pure joy, and simply getting them outside of their normal environment was priceless.
At Aknew Approach Inc., we uplift and empower under-resourced and under-exposed youth, and this day was a perfect example of why we do what we do. We believe that every child deserves the chance to dream big and achieve their goals, and events like this help make that a reality.
We’re so thankful to everyone who supports our cause and helps us make a difference in the lives of young people in our community. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to inspire the next generation of leaders!

Our first "Feeding the Hood Program" session of the year.
"I live at a place where it's sometimes crazy, and sometimes really not crazy." -10 year old, J. Knotts ; Resident
We're starting the year by implementing our newly streamlined and sustainable "Feeding the Hood Program".
During this program we aim to provide at least 100 healthy hot meals to residents of the Garden City Apartment Community once a week. This is an underserved Section 8 community where majority of the residents have been impacted by the Criminal Justice System.
This is the best way we could continually meet one of the many urgent needs of this community with our current minimal capacity.
We plan to assess the other major needs of this community and meet those needs over time, as our capacity continues to grow. We envision being able to feed this entire community every day of the week, provide clothes frequently and meet their other immediate needs as well.
