Be A Fruit Foundation

About

It's rare to find a fruit in cold and dark times, so be one. Reach out to those around the world in need of refuge, encouragement, health, and guidance. 


With the Be A Fruit Foundation, we aim to enhance community outreach by reaching out to others in need of necessities, support, and guidance. We want to provide not only health and wellness facilities but also access to shelter, comfort, and a safe place they can call home. The world we live in is harsh, and many have gone through horrific situations, feeling alone. We want to change that by bringing people together, encouraging and strengthening those who have been weakened, and showing them the power they hold and how vibrant their lives can be.

The Story

Be A Fruit Foundation is inspired by the book Cherry Christmas by Daisy. This heartwarming story follows a girl named Cherry, who, despite her young age and limited understanding, encounters the challenges of life. With a desire to make a difference, she embodies the spirit of community outreach. Although it has a Christmas theme, Cherry Christmas is a tale that can be enjoyed any time of year, promoting themes of health and wellness. It resonates with the values of support foundation initiatives, encouraging readers to engage with their communities.

Mission

When Cherry moves to Gratta Town, she realizes that many people in the community face hardships. To engage in community outreach, she designs a Christmas ornament of a cherry to help raise money for a nearby homeless shelter. As an adult, I can envision Cherry growing up to establish a support foundation that embodies these same principles. In line with Cherry's mission, the Be A Fruit Foundation encourages you to embrace the values of health and wellness and to also be a fruit during cold and dark times.
