Lockett Family Charitable Foundation

Lockett Family Charitable Foundation was founded by Jerome Carlos Johnson, an active community servant in Fort Worth, Texas. Johnson wanted to honor the memory of his maternal grandparents, Leroy "Red" Lockett and Magnolia Williams Lockett. His desire was to honor his grandparents legacy in a tangible way that would impact the lives of others in a positive way. After careful consideration, Johnson decided to launch Lockett Family Charitable Foundation. Mission Statement: Lockett Family Charitable Foundation strives to educate, encourage, and empower children and families living in economically disadvantaged communities in Fort Worth, Texas and surrounding cities. Vision Statement: Lockett Family Charitable Foundation envisions a world where all people have access to the resources necessary for achieving success. We have three programs in place that are designed to improve the quality of life for underprivileged children and their families: The Coats of Love Project provides coats and winter jackets to families of children in Fort Worth Texas who are not able to purchase winter wear. Fresh Fruit Friday is our project that provides fresh fruit and healthy snacks to young students in economically disadvantaged areas of Fort Worth, Texas. The Real MVP Project is our program designed to encourage and inspire men to be more active in the lives of their children. It is designed to offer mentorship to young fathers through positive interaction with older, more experienced fathers. The Community LOCK Project is our initiative that is designed to make the world a better place through random acts of kindness. Through this initiative we assist underprivileged familes with unexpected emergencies.
