Raise the Roof for ForKids: A Community Fundraiser for Families Living in Poverty

This May 1–15, ForKids invites you to be part of Raise the Roof—a community-wide fundraiser during National Affordable Housing Month that supports families experiencing homelessness and poverty across Hampton Roads.

Local businesses are stepping up by donating a portion of their sales, making it easy for you to give back just by dining out, shopping, or enjoying a night with friends.
