OUR CAUSE
Fueling Potential: Helping Kids Overcome Obstacles and Thrive
Evansville and its surrounding counties are facing significant struggles, and children are bearing the brunt of these challenges. With a poverty rate of over 19%, many families struggle to meet basic needs, leaving children vulnerable to food insecurity and unstable living conditions. Nearly 20% of children in the area face hunger, and without access to nutritious meals, their growth and potential are at risk.
We are working to create safe spaces where kids can thrive, offering essential resources like food, hygiene items, and emotional support to help them rise above these challenges and build brighter futures.

Gratitude in action—that’s what SWAY is all about. Founded by Chris and Courtney Johnson and backed by Y&E, SWAY is on a mission to celebrate and uplift the unsung heroes of our community—teachers, first responders, police, and more. With so many educators leaving the profession and essential workers facing ongoing challenges, now is the time to step up. Through community-driven events and real support, SWAY is bridging the gap in appreciation and resources. Ready to learn more and be part of the movement? Join us in making a difference!
