Additional Announcements
The Write-Right Entrepreneurship Program (WREP)
WREP provides guidance to entrepreneurs who are passionate about a cause on how to start a non-profit in Georgia, as well as the sustainability of the non-profit through pecuniary resources, grants, and funding. The program also provides mentorship and guidance to youth wanting to be entrepreneurs. Many people want to start their own businesses but lack the skills and resources to become an entrepreneur. However, entrepreneurship paves the way for generating wealth and higher earnings. The benefits of owning a business extend beyond the business that is established. Entrepreneurs improve the lives of individuals, communities, and the overall economy. Entrepreneurship promotes innovation and self-reliance, as well as generates employment opportunities.

Nutrition Literacy and Community Resource Workshop
Nutrition literacy, or food literacy, is important because it helps people make informed decisions about their food choices and eating habits, which can improve their health and well-being. It is also very important to connect individuals and families with children to available community resources. Community resources can make a big difference in your ability to make it through hard times. Community resources can be essential in helping people access assistance and expand their range of outlets of support to meet their needs. In collaboration and partnership with the Niagara County Department of Health, DFOWW Incorporated (Daphany’s Fabulous Objective Weekly Workshops) cordially invites you to attend The Nutrition Literacy and Community Resource Workshop.
The event is free and open to the public. We will be serving free catered lunch from Carrabba’s Italian Grill restaurant. Vegetarian meal options will be available. There will be a variety of vendors attending and presentations from nonprofit organizations, local entrepreneurs, and community leaders, providing information along with free resources for those in need.
Additionally, the event will feature:
- Free health care screenings
- Free fun activities for children and youth
- Free give-a-ways
- Raffle contest for a $200 Nike gift card ($5 per ticket or $11 for 3 raffle tickets).
- Indoor and outdoor plant and flower fundraiser
Special guest and speakers include dignitaries, Niagara Falls High School District Superintendent Mr. Mark Laurrie, and Niagara Falls Mayor Mr. Robert Restaino.
Registration is required for participation, so register today by scanning the QR code on the flyer or register using the link enclosed below. Get ready for a day of fun learning, good music and great food.

The Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP)
This program addresses food insecurity challenges disproportionately impacting low-income communities and families with children. Under this program, we host low-cost community workshops in which all participants receive nutrition literacy information and a complimentary, healthy meal. Low-income families with children and/or primary caretakers of children under 17 who experience food insecurity, can apply to enroll in the WRNP program. Eligible applicants will receive free food contingent on available grant funding. For more information and to learn how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.
While local food banks often provide exigent, necessary food to those in need, the Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP) provides nutritious meals to families with children along with nutrition literacy information workshops. This allows participants to obtain, process and understand nutrition information and skills needed to make appropriate nutrition related decisions. The Write-Right Nutrition program consists of 6 in-person workshops totaling 36 hours of curriculum for the whole family. A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who complete all 6 workshops. The Write-Right Nutrition Program is our nonprofit organization’s core program, and it is free for all kids 17 years of age and under.
The Write-Right Literacy Program (WRLP)
The Write-Right Literacy Program is a series of in-person and virtual workshops aligned with the common core standards and are designed to address literacy achievement challenges unique to low-income communities and families with children. The WRLP was developed to assist low-income individuals over 18 without a high school diploma to take the Reasoning Through Language Arts portion of the state GED test. At-risk 16- and 17-year-old youth seeking enrollment will only be considered with verifiable parental consent. The WRLP is listed on the National Literacy Directory (NLD) website.

All monthly special readings, writing workshops, and the WRLP schedules will be available in our website’s Announcement category on the sixth calendar day of each month. Please note that the date may change depending on national holidays and the board of directors’ recess periods. We have also updated our Logophiles word game rules. Winners will receive $25.
