Show up
for your kids.
A crew of local dads. Weekly events, kids welcome, nothing to pay.
Every Monday we feed the teachers, deputies and nurses who hold this town together. A lot of them are dads too.
Fatherhood is a team sport.
Every dad is running his own version of this. Married, divorced, every other weekend, full time. The setup changes. The job doesn't.
So we show up. Once a week, at a real place, in person. No webinars, no forums, no Zoom. You come, you bring your kids, you meet the guys.
Building a generation of kids who know what it means to show up.
Four things, every week.
Not a mission statement. Just a schedule.
Show Up
Weekly events at real venues. Kids come too.
Feed the Frontline
Every Monday, food from local restaurants to the schools, stations and hospitals.
Back Each Other
Every dad needs a crew. Real support, real talk.
Pass It On
Your kids are watching. Let them watch you serve somebody.
Every Monday, we feed the frontline. Then we hand them a card.
Local restaurants pack bagels, donuts and coffee. We load it up and run three stops. A school, the sheriff's station, a hospital. No galas, no overhead, no press release. Dads with a truck full of food.
Here's the part people miss. Half the people we hand a box to are dads themselves. Teacher dads. Deputy dads. Nurse and paramedic dads working shifts that make normal dad stuff hard. So there's a card in every box with our schedule on it. Come Tuesday. Bring your kid. You've been holding this town up all week, let somebody buy you a coffee for once.
School
Teachers, aides and coaches. First adults our kids see every morning.
Sheriff
Deputies coming off shift. Some of them going straight to a soccer game.
Hospital
Nurses, techs and medics. The ones who work Christmas.
Know a restaurant that wants in? Send them our way. Work one of these buildings and want us to stop by? Same.
The people we feed and the people we sit with keep turning out to be the same guys. That was not the plan. It's the best thing that's happened.
A week in the life.
Two weekly anchors, a Sunday BBQ, and a monthly grooming night. Free to attend. Show up in scrubs or a uniform if that's how the day went.
Game Night
Dads and kids. Pokémon, board games, card games. Final venue confirmation coming soon.
Ebullition Brew Works
Frontline Fathers at 6:30. Trivia starts at 7. NA beers on hand, nobody counts. Kids welcome and can join your trivia team.
Sunday Family BBQ
Family-friendly BBQ to close out the week. Final venue confirmation coming soon.
The Butchers Barbershop + Diamond Nails
Dads and sons get haircuts at The Butchers. Moms and daughters get nails at Diamond Nails next door. Family night out, monthly.
All events free to attend. Food, beverages, and grooming services are each attendee's responsibility.
Free to show up. That's the whole pitch.
Come to an event. Bring your kids. Ride along on a Monday if you want a job to do. No dues, no application, no catch.

Teacher, deputy, nurse, medic, dispatcher, firefighter?
You're already doing the hardest version of this. You serve this town all week, then you go home and try to have something left for your kids. We know what that costs. Come Tuesday. You don't owe us anything and we're not asking you to volunteer for one more thing.
