The Blue Trust Foundation was founded by Aaron Nichols with his intention to create an experience of joy for low-income children by providing a holiday meal for their entire family. The Foundation has evolved to developing strategic long-term initiatives that will serve to empower children-in-need in breaking free from cycles of poverty.
In 2004 Aaron Nichols and a friend began to reflect on their many life’s blessings. With the holiday season quickly approaching and their families needs met, they decided that rather than watch football games on Thanksgiving day, they would find a way to make a contribution of their abundance to families less fortunate. This inspired them to personally assemble and distribute plates of food. " with their hopes that other families could also experience their love and celebration on Thanksgiving Day.
"It felt so good to see smiles of appreciation on every ones face as the food was passed out, It just made me want to do it every chance i could, not just holidays."
Success of the meals for the homeless led to the formalization of The Blue Trust Foundation in 2005. Since then, The Blue Trust Foundations core mission and initiatives have been developed towards multi- causes locally and nationwide. With the assistance of donors and volunteer’s nationwide, The The Blue Trust Foundation intends to develop empowerment programs for children that highlight health, finance, personal development and emotional mastery as methods for breaking through cycles of poverty.
