Up, Up & Paws Away Day: For The Need Foundation’s exciting event for children and families in the midst of homelessness

Nonprofit Of The Year Award Winner, For The Need Foundation Is At It Again

SIMI VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, April 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Up Up & Paws Away Day, making itself the second annual event for the Bow & Arrow Mentorship Program in the Simi Valley (805) Location, taught families experiencing homelessness, poverty, and difficult life situations children from families in homelessness and low-income lifestyles aspects of friendship and companionship. Throughout the years as For The Need taught friendship, this year will highlight the importance of openness and boundaries when connecting with someone, and how one simple act can influence a lifetime of friendships moving forward.

The day begins with a presentation from Lexi Ruth of K9 University, and her lesson of the importance of boundaries in friendships, using her trusted companion Poppy to demonstrate. Exciting activities of the day included playing with dogs from K9 University, and creating bonds with not only the adorable furry creatures, but with the people surrounding them as well. Moreover, after lunch, packets were given out to young adults in the Bow & Arrow Mentorship program to register for FTN’s new program, Arrow Alumni Launch Program. During this exhilarating event, parents of all the youth had on-site aid to sign-up their children to summer camps, all expenses paid for by For the Need and its donors.

For the Need thanks WM, K9 University for their canine contribution, and our trusted volunteers, without whom this event would not be possible.
