Our Story
The Love Fund for Children was founded by FOX4 in 1981 following the groundswell of viewer support the station received after airing the news series “Thursdays Child.” We created a 501(c)(3), and began serving children in the FOX4 viewing area, and have since met critical needs for over 210,000 children in ways no other organization is addressing.
In 2022, 8,500 students received school supplies, 1,594 teens received holiday gifts, and 571 children received critical items such as clothing, beds, hygiene supplies, medical equipment, and more. Thanks to YOU, over 10,000 total children were served in 2022.
