Up North Prevention Participates in Father Fred Foundation's Back-to-School Shoe Event

On August 14, 2026, Up North Prevention was proud to participate in Father Fred Foundation's Back-to-School Shoe Event, helping local families prepare for a successful new school year.

As a resource table partner, Up North Prevention connected with parents, caregivers, children, and community members while sharing information about prevention, healthy choices, and local resources that support youth and families.

Events like this demonstrate the power of community partnerships. Providing children with new shoes is about more than preparing for the first day of school—it helps families feel supported and gives students the confidence to start the school year ready to learn.

We are grateful to have been part of an event dedicated to meeting families where they are and connecting them with resources that can make a positive difference.

Thank you to Father Fred Foundation and the many volunteers, donors, community organizations, and families who made this event possible. Up North Prevention is proud to partner with organizations that help strengthen and support local youth and families.
