Our Programs
Supporting children, families, young adults, and seniors through programs that provide essential resources, recreation opportunities, seasonal outreach, and meaningful experiences throughout the year.
📚 School Readiness
Starting the school year prepared can make a meaningful difference in a student's confidence and success. Through our School Readiness Program, we provide backpacks, school supplies, shoes, and other essential items that help students begin the year ready to learn. Resources are distributed directly through local school districts, helping ensure assistance reaches children and teens facing financial barriers. By providing essential school readiness items, the program promotes educational participation, confidence, and a stronger start to the school year.
Building Safe, Confident, and Responsible Riders
For many riders, a passion for motorcycles begins long before their first ride. Whether it's motocross, flat track, competitive or recreational riding, the Youth Rider Safety & Training Program helps riders develop safe riding habits, practical skills, and the confidence that comes from experience.
Support may include rider training, safety education, protective equipment, motorcycle endorsement preparation, participation opportunities, and mentorship from experienced riders.
The lessons learned through riding often extend beyond the motorcycle itself, helping develop responsibility, perseverance, sound decision-making, and skills that can benefit riders throughout school, work, and life.
This program is supported through our annual Honda CRF110 raffle and the generosity of those who believe in creating opportunities for riders to learn, participate, and grow safely.
Armstrong Community Outreach Foundation helped turn a goal into reality for our family. Their donation from raffle ticket sales allowed us to surpass our fundraising target and send our daughter to American SuperCamp. Kim Morris was kind, professional, and a joy to work with throughout the process. This organization doesn't just talk about helping people, they genuinely change lives. We are incredibly grateful for their support.
Armstrong Community Outreach Foundation understands that meaningful experiences shouldn't be out of reach for families. Thanks to their support, our family spent an incredible day at Woodland Park Zoo celebrating my granddaughter's birthday. The joy on her face and the memories we made together are something we'll cherish forever. We are grateful for an organization that truly cares about helping families create special moments together.

Our Goal
Everyone should have the opportunity to participate, learn new things, try new experiences, and enjoy activities with family and friends. The Community Access Program helps make those opportunities more accessible.
💙Holiday & Seasonal Giving
Armstrong Community Outreach helps create meaningful experiences and lasting memories through holiday and seasonal outreach programs. Working with community partners and volunteers, we provide holiday gifts, Easter baskets, Christmas stockings, cards, and other seasonal items to children, families, seniors, and individuals facing financial hardship or social isolation. These efforts help ensure community members can participate in holiday traditions, experience kindness and connection, and feel remembered during special times of the year. Through these programs, we foster belonging, strengthen community relationships, and bring people together across generations.
Everyone Deserves a Place to Belong
The strongest communities are built when people feel welcome, valued, and connected. Through recreation, outreach, mentorship, and community support, we help create opportunities for people of all ages to participate, build relationships, and find a sense of belonging.
Whether it's a child joining a team, a family receiving support during the holidays, or a senior sharing experiences with younger generations, every connection helps strengthen our community.
