Our Mission
The Forgotten Stewardship is a non-profit organization born from the desire to revive the tradition of neighbors helping neighbors in revitalizing and strengthening America’s rural communities. This mission is carried out through the collaborative efforts of residents and Veterans who are dedicated to serving their communities.
Our Stewards drive lasting transformation within communities and among residents by championing unity, resilience, and compassion. They use their unique skills and unwavering commitment to support, uplift, and empower individuals overcoming physical or financial challenges.
Our Stewards
Bringing extensive leadership experience from their service to the community or country, our Stewards are skilled professionals known for their integrity and honesty. But above all, they are neighbors with deep connections to the communities they serve.
Who We Serve
The Forgotten Stewardship helps residence who are disabled, have children with disabilities, the elderly, veterans, disabled veterans, or those living with low to moderate income.
The need within each of these groups is substantial.
61 million adults in the United States live with a disability, 13% of the U.S. population according to CDC.gov. Additionally, 7.3 million disabled students in the U.S. made up 15% of national public school enrollment during the 2021-22 school year.
There are currently roughly 62 million adults ages 65 and older living in the U.S., accounting for 18% of the population.
Census.gov states there were 36.8 million people in poverty in 2023, with $14,580 for individuals and $24,860 for a family of three.
While many homes require critical improvements and repairs, those most in need of updates are often occupied by households least able to afford the expense.
