Mission Statement
The Fenwick Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity focused on improving quality of life, health and wellbeing in ways that are not addressed or “below the radar.” We provide a wide range of therapeutic recreational, cultural and educational outings and activities as well as support programs, including economic support, dental care, and vision care to low-resource and vulnerable adults and older adults, veterans and returning military personnel, people with disabilities, caregivers, and immigrant status adults.
Program Summary
Enriching Lives — Social, & educational opportunities to attend theater, museums, sporting events, “out-to-eat” group lunches/dinners, zoo visits, parks, river cruises, bowling, movies, etc. Program addresses mental and physical health needs of Seniors/Elderly, Veterans, and other special needs individuals living in skilled nursing, assisted living, & group residence facilities to get groups “out-of-the-house” for physical/mental stimulation and activities. Program encourages more active lifestyle and social interaction.
Dental Care —Project ADAPT provides needed dental care to low-income older adults, immigrant-status low-income adults and people with disabilities not receiving adequate or any dental care. We provide a full range of dental procedures/ treatments as well as a dental home for our patients in Northern Virginia. Far too many do not have financial or logistical access to this basic health care need. We are determined to change this condition.
Impact Statement
Enriching Lives has had an impact on those combating mental health and physical health issues. Our program gets people “out of the house” and into the community to help address the issues of loneliness and isolation.
Our Project ADAPT Dental program has had a major impact on the oral health of those we served. Pain has been lessened, smiles have been returned, and folks have been able to more easily chew and eat food. Oral health impacts heart and physical health, so our patients have been impacted in these areas as well.
