We offer financial assistance, emergency funds, scholarships, educational grants, virtual workshops, family counseling, and referral services to aide families in achieving stability and maintaining mental health.

In times of emergency or natural disasters, families already impacted by gun violence face additional challenges. Disruptions in housing, employment, and access to essential resources can be especially overwhelming for these families, who are already navigating loss and recovery. The B.F.R. Crisis, Emergency & Natural Disaster Relief Fund is dedicated to providing rapid response support, helping ensure that affected families remain safe, secure, and connected to critical resources during times of crisis.
