Back To School
Backpack Drive

As students return to school, they are often challenged with having the proper tools needed to have a successful start. WEGFF provides backpacks filled with school supplies for students in Los Angeles, Jersey City and Raleigh/Durham. Each location provides a minimum of 50 backpacks through partnerships with other organizations.

“Thanks for Giving”
Holiday Giveaway

During the holiday season we are most grateful for all that we’ve been blessed with. Whether the bountiful meals at Thanksgiving or the toys at Christmas, we were always together as a family sharing. Our parents, Willie & Elizabeth Gordon, assured we were well remembered and loved with relatives, friends and acquaintances often coming through to enjoy the festivities, laughter and mostly, the food. With this in mind, the family collects food, hygiene products, clothing, toys and other donations to distribute in collaboration with local food pantries, shelters, the homeless population and churches. It is our desire that everyone have a reason to be thankful for gifts.

Annual Scholarship Giveaway

Education was of utmost importance to our ancestors and every generation pushed the next to go further than they had gone. As we look back at our ancestral legacy, we started with little to no education and now the family has produced offspring with Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees. What a tribute to the family legacy to give to the next generation in an effort to enhance educational skills.

WHO WE SERVE

The Willie & Elizabeth Gordon Family Foundation supports disenfranchised youth between the ages of 8 and 25. This support includes children with cognitive delays or developmental disorders and children living in at-risk environments. Our programs currently operate out of California, New Jersey and North Carolina.

VALUES:

  • We value education for everyone and believe it to be the path to freedom and awareness of what is yet to come
  • We value empowering those who are less fortunate and provide support to help them overcome their circumstances
  • With the utmost of care, we value excellence, commitment and quality for all communities we encounter

FUNDING
