With few public transportation options available, the lack of a reliable vehicle can severely limit access to jobs, stores, medical care, and youth programs. It can prevent families from participating in programs, events, and activities. Since 1994, FIA has transported youth to community service opportunities, interviews, trainings, performances, colleges, the airport, recreational trips, prevention workshops, and more. At least three times a week, FIA transports youth approximately 8 miles a day. Renting our current bus or van service is expensive.
Transportation will be used to expand the following programs for FIA: After School, Teens, Work Readiness, Mentoring and Leadership, Prevention, Touring Performing Arts, and Community Outreach with Agape Missions Outreach (feeding the homeless, helping senior citizens, distributing school supplies, and blankets).
