Brewbaker Primary School
Brewbaker Primary School is Montgomery Public School system’s largest elementary school with 750 pre-K through 2nd Grade students and 100% eligible for free lunch. We advocate for them and provide resources that the administration and staff have requested. At the beginning of the school year in 2019, we provided 750 boxes of tissues and 750 rolls of paper towels dropped ship by freight at the school. In July 2020 we were asked to provide 750 multi-sensory “kits” for the students so that each child would have the same manipulative resources for home study of math and reading. In addition, for several years we have provided a birthday cupcake and pencil for each student (and staff member!) at once-a-month parties, and a Halloween treat bag filled with goodies for each student. The local fire department has assisted us in delivering these bags on Halloween.

The Transition to Adult Living Program helps young women ages 19-24 who are facing challenges and difficult times of transition by providing a safe residential environment in which they can grow, increase life skills, and achieve self-sufficiency.
The Secure Dwellings Program is a program providing safe and affordable housing on the PHFC campus to homeless children and their female caregiver while our dedicated staff works to minister to their needs by empowering the caregiver to achieve goals and reach self-sufficiency and providing a safe haven for children who have been homeless to rest, grow, and play.
When a child is homeless or living in a dysfunctional situation their education is often among the first casualties. Continually failing or struggling does even more damage to an already wounded child. Many of the children we serve have fallen behind in school and are fighting to catch up. Ascension Leadership Academy, our accredited private school, does everything in its power to help children succeed academically.
Our Thrift Store serves both PHFC residents and the local community. Often the Thrift Store is a new resident’s first job after they arrive on campus providing income and job skills training. Donations to the thrift store provide a resource for residents to obtain at no cost what they need upon arrival.
