Families Overcoming Obstacles Together
Taking Steps Towards Healthier Communities
Welcome!
We are a non-profit Community Learning Garden in Hampton, Virginia supporting the community since 2014. We provide vital education on nutrition and fresh produce to local families. Our projects emphasize the relationship of healthy living to emotional balance and behavioral stability.
Our Story
Families Overcoming Obstacles Together (F.O.O.T.) has served dozens of Hampton Roads families since 2014 by teaching the fundamentals of growing healthy foods and total wellness. Family Restoration Services’ youth and staff frequently volunteer at community activities to promote healthy and balanced living for all.
Youth and families suffer from a myriad of challenges that negatively affect the family unit. F.O.O.T. implores an integrated approach to addressing those challenges with support and collaboration from the community at large.
We created F.O.O.T. to meet the needs of the community using the same integrated approach that we employed in over 25 years of collective experience with behaviorally and emotionally challenged youth. We have found that total wellness consists of nutrition, physical fitness, emotional and spiritual balance, and cognitive development. As such, families like yours plan and enjoy community-based activities that support these four areas of wellness!
We have been named a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation!
F.O.O.T’s founders, Adetokunboh and Stephanie Afonja, have adopted these principles in the daily management of their own family routines to achieve their most fit life yet! The pair, bonded by marriage, is connected through a sense of urgency for the total health and wellness of the family system!
