Time for Change Foundation’s 22nd Annual Awards Gala

Rising Like the Sun so Others Can Shine

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Time for Change Foundation (TFCF) will celebrate its 22nd Annual Awards Gala on Friday, April 19th, 2024, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Ontario, California. Since 2002, Time for Change Foundation has been empowering the disenfranchised and creating thriving communities. To date, they have helped over 3,800 women reach self-sufficiency and have reunited 320 children from foster care back with their mothers.

TFCF’s humble beginnings started with one 6-bed shelter and is currently operating in 19 locations throughout the state of California.

“Stable housing is the most essential component of family reunification– children need their mothers. As we provide them with that one missing piece, we are giving kids their moms back!” — Vanessa Perez, Executive Director at Time for Change Foundation.

Time for Change Foundation lifts women and children out of poverty by delivering innovative, cutting-edge services. The focus is to create self-sufficiency by elevating economic opportunities that work for those they serve.

The 22nd Annual Awards Gala will highlight the successes of the women, and now men, that have emerged from homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, and incarceration and have become thriving community members.

Along with highlighting the amazing accomplishments throughout its 22-year history, TFCF is acknowledging and celebrating other outstanding heroes who make daily contributions to our society.
