In 2012, Dr. Travis C. and Stephanie C. Jennings founded a non-profit organization, City of David Community Development Corporation (“City of David”).
City of David aims to break the cycle of poverty and empower families in need. We are committed to working tirelessly to support children, families, and communities in need. Our commitment to touching the lives of those in our communities drives us to implement programs that create lasting change.
We also aim to foster a stronger, more resilient community, ensuring that every child and family has the opportunity to thrive.
We strive to improve the quality of life for underprivileged families living in poverty-stricken conditions. Our human services programs aim to provide access to essential resources that help families achieve stability and self-sufficiency.
Recognizing the challenges faced by single parents, we offer a variety of educational initiatives. This includes providing scholarships for students to pursue their academic goals and offering collegiate scholarships specifically for high schooler graduates, ensuring they have the financial support needed to transition to
higher education.
Our commitment to education extends to adopting local elementary and high schools , fostering partnerships that enhance educational opportunities and resources for students. We distribute essential school supplies, ensuring that every child is equipped for success in their studies.
We help individuals obtain their high school equivalency, empowering them with the qualifications necessary for better job opportunities. Additionally, we assist in building resumes and preparing individuals for the job market, enhancing their employability.
We believe that the well-being of men, women, and children is essential for fostering strong and vibrant communities. Our programs are designed to support this vision by offering nutritious meals at local shelters, tackling food insecurity, and promoting overall health and wellness.
During the holiday season, we take special care to distribute Thanksgiving boxes throughout the community, bringing families together and ensuring they have access to festive meals and essential items.
We organize health festivals that promote physical and mental well-being, offering resources, screenings, and educational workshops to encourage healthy lifestyles among community members. These events aim to increase awareness of health issues and provide access to vital services.
Our commitment extends beyond local communities to international outreach missions, particularly in Africa. Through these missions, we provide support and resources to underserved populations, helping to address pressing needs and fostering sustainable development.
Understanding the importance of reliable transportation, we organize car giveaways for single mothers who lack access to a vehicle. This initiative empowers them to better manage their daily responsibilities, including commuting to work, school, and essential appointments.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. Our initiatives include donating toys to children aged 0-17, particularly during the holiday season. By bringing joy and smiles to young faces, we aim to create a sense of hope and belonging within our communities.
Through these multifaceted initiatives, we strive to create lasting change, instill hope, and empower individuals and families to overcome challenges. At City of David, we envision a future where every person has the opportunity to thrive and live a fulfilling life. Together, we can make a difference and touch the lives of those hurting in our communities.
