About The Fox Cares Foundation

The Fox Cares Foundation was founded in 2016 to raise funds to address three needs that we believe nurture a physically and emotionally healthy community.

Easing Homelessness …because no person should have to go without a place to call home.

Easing Hunger…because no community thrives when some go hungry.

Cultivating the Arts for All …because expression through the arts brings beauty to the community at large.
