• OUR MISSION

    Our mission is to provide foundational resources through holistic programming and community connections to promote growth in West Montgomery.

What are we doing?

  • Reading Tutoring: We are currently helping 10 students enhance their reading level before the end of the school year. We desire to grow the number of students and volunteers.

    During the summer we provide a camp for 9 weeks that include talks from nearby resources that can expand their view on life, physical activities, creative activities, and a meal.

  • We are currently managing a partnership which allows us to help with rental and utility assistance as well having our Annual Dental Fair.

    The Dental Fair is a partnership with Strong Tower Church, North American Mission Board, local dentist and countless others to provide dental extractions or fillings COMPLETELY FREE!

  • We rely heavily on the donations of individuals, business and other non profit organizations who have a desire to see West Montgomery flourish.

  • COLLABORATIONS

    Collaborations make the world of organizations like ours go around. If you feel your organization or business matches our goals for West Montgomery, please email us.

  • COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

    The community center cannot grow without volunteers. If you would like to help with programming or discuss offering any other skill you feel will be beneficial to West Montgomery, contact us.

  • CALL TO ACTION

    You may be the missing piece to our organization. Do you have administrative, fundraising, or leadership skills you would like to use for the growth of Strong Foundation? Our board would love to meet with you.

  • CONTRIBUTE

    To help the organization flow from thoughts and ideas to services that meet those in West Montgomery right at their doorstep, financial donations are needed. Please consider supporting the organization so that we can hire staff and have supplies for future programming.

Our
Goals

Organized Since 2020

In 2020, Strong Foundation began. It started with multiple people having ideas of how the now Strong Tower Community Center could be utilized to bring resources to a central location in the Washington Park Community of Montgomery, Alabama. They had a desire to provide a community safe haven, one that offered after school care, sports and beneficial foundational resources such as homeownership information among many other things.

2020…

NOW…

Since organizing, the Community Center has hosted NARAB who headed up a Home Ownership Expo, held a summer camp, chess classes, fall festivals and a provided free dental care with the help of North American Mission Board and Dentist from Maxwell Airforce Base and Tutoring for Reading.

We have a strong desire to keep these services going but will need the help of the community, local business and organizations with the same goals in mind to bring their best to promote growth in West Montgomery!
