What is so special about Mother’s Trust Foundation is that they partner with the service provider, who knows the client’s needs the best, to deliver immediate help. MTF can turn requests around in 24 - 48 hours making sure the client receives the help they need in a timely fashion. MTF is truly a unique organization that has the ability to look individually at each request to meet the specific client’s needs. MTF truly makes a difference in people’s lives!
Kids in families that are at or below the poverty line deserve to experience childhood with dignity and confidence, and MTF makes that happen by providing grants for clothing, sports, music, tech kits, glasses, rent/utility assistance, cars seats and safe baby gear, and much more.
I am a proud board member of this exceptional organization dedicated to providing children and families in need with resources throughout Lake County. We partner closely with school districts to connect us with families who may benefit from additional service and support. ❤️
I have been a volunteer for Mothers Trust Foundation for many years. It is an organization with a purpose and a huge heart. Everyone involved in this organization is truly dedicated to make the lives of the children in Lake County better. Our goal is to reach as many underprivileged children as possible and we are always looking new and better ways to do that. It is an honor to be a part of this endeavor.

Mothers Trust Foundation focuses on helping the children, particularly providing the little things that make a child's life better, but that other agencies do not provide. As a member of the service team, each week I help make the decisions that benefit these families. During the pandemic, we underwrote rent, power and heat, so that the families could have stable, safe housing. We provide child car seats, clothing, shoes, school and sports fees, eye exams and glasses and a number of other necessities, All of this takes money and we are careful with ours. I have been involved in fundraising through volunteering at our annual fundraiser, the "Betty Bash," as well as helping out at the golf outing, volunteering at the local art fair that benefits Mothers Trust and just about anything else that I can. Mothers Trust Foundation is a wonderful organization.
I have been involved with Mothers Trust for 20 years, and the impressive thing that strikes me is how the organization has never deviated from its mission of providing opportunities for the children of Lake County. Social workers know that MTF is always there when no other charity can, or will, help children in the situations that are critical to their social and educational development. Whether it be summer camp, sports, music, or basic necessities such as clothing and car seats, Mothers Trust is there.
I had the chance to hear stories from service providers Mothers Trust Foundation works with to learn about how this non-profit's mission makes a positive impact on disadvantaged families going through crisis. From their stories, I learned this organization is the one community-based organizations turn to when they can not meet the need themselves. Mothers Trust Foundation has a unique ability to help solve countless dire situations by approving grant requests. These are reviewed weekly by a committee to ensure funds are used appropriately. Resources are used wisely to multiply the effort. The meetings are open to the public and never fail to open our eyes to the difficulties faced by at-risk youth in our own backyards. With each grant approved, we know that these families are having their deepest prayers answered. The heart-breaking stories often time have happy endings because of the mission of Mothers Trust Foundation.
This organization is all about taking care of the things that give life dignity and respect. It is as grass roots as you can get with grant requests that come straight from community professionals for the benefit of those they serve - children, women and families that are disadvantaged in ways we take for granted. Grants are vetted and made each week with funds going right into the hands of those who need them. Rent assistance, school uniforms, car seats, educational needs, you name it - when it comes to some of the most basic of needs - Mothers Trust is there. Making real differences, in real lives. No red tape, no bureaucracy. Real results that make a difference.
