"The It’s Only Right Foundation came to existence through a vision that was really place on my heart years ago. I always knew I wanted to give back to my community. I started saying It’s Only Right as a positive slogan with in my mental space to keep me encouraged. One scripture in the Bible, John 13:17, really resonates with It's Only Right because you’re blessed when you serve others and do right by them. This falls in line with our goals!"

Community Aid

Here at It's Only Right, one of our goals that we feel passionately about is aiding low income families by partnering with food banks. This way we can provide better access to food and promote healthy eating. We will also be partnering with local & major grocery stores to further aid in our food distribution to the community. We want to be able to help as many families as we can, eat healthier and know where their next meal is coming from.

Scholarships

A college education is something that can help a young woman or man fulfill their wildest dreams and is an experience every person should have the opportunity to explore. Here at It's Only Right, providing help to students who show determination, excitement, and a hunger to further their education is who we look for when handing out our scholarships. We aspire to grow bigger and give more year after year. If you have college plans, we are here to help those dreams become a reality.
