Help Build the Fathers Forward Empowerment Campus – A National HQ for Healing & Hope

Join us in building something historic.
Fathers of Faith Inc. is launching a bold, faith-driven $2.5 million capital campaign to establish the Fathers Forward Empowerment Center—a first-of-its-kind, national headquarters in DeKalb, IL dedicated to uplifting underserved fathers, restoring families, and advancing God’s Kingdom through tangible, lasting support.

This will be the first faith-led, father-focused diaper bank and emergency relief hub in the state of Illinois and the nation, grounded in justice, grace, and bold advocacy for those who’ve been left out of the system for too long.

🏗️ What We’re Building:

State-of-the-art Training Facility for job readiness, legal empowerment & leadership
State-of-the-art Diaper Bank Facility to support the Northern Illinois and contingent regions.
Commercial Kitchen for family meals, nutrition classes & community healing events
Indoor Basketball Court to restore brotherhood, wellness & safe father-child bonding
On-site Child Development Center so no father has to choose between help & childcare
Children’s Clothing, Toy & Educational Closet to meet urgent material needs
Executive-Style Office Suites for staff, volunteers & on-site partner professionals
Modern Virtual Meeting Spaces to connect fathers with advocates, counselors, & court systems across the nation

This Empowerment Center will be the spiritual, emotional, and logistical engine behind every program we scale—from Project D.A.D.™ (Dads Against Depression) to Diapers for Dads™, to legal advocacy, financial restoration, and community renewal.

🙏 Why It Matters:

Fathers are often erased—not just from their children’s lives, but from systems of support entirely. This Center changes that forever. It's not just a building. It’s a beacon. A safe place. A launchpad for legacy.
