The Ole Ms. Kringle Foundation (OMKF) is a North Carolina-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization guided by enduring Christian principles of love, service, integrity, and compassion. We believe every person is created with inherent worth and purpose, and our work reflects that belief through acts of encouragement, mentorship, and opportunity.

OMKF exists to assist, encourage, and stabilize the lives of homeless young adults and those aging out of foster care (ages 18–25) by offering mentorship, life-skills guidance, creative arts engagement, and community support.

Our programs are designed to help young adults discover their value, strengthen their confidence, and build a path toward independence and hope.

Our approach to service follows the example of Jesus—loving our neighbors, extending grace, and offering support without judgment. We believe our role is to plant seeds of hope, dignity, and possibility, trusting God to bring growth in His time.

Scripture reminds us of the spirit in which we serve:

"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

While OMKF is rooted in Christian values, participation in religious beliefs or practices is never required to receive support, mentorship, or services. We welcome mentors, volunteers, and participants from all backgrounds, faith traditions, and life experiences. Our goal is not to impose belief, but to model kindness, integrity, and compassion in action.

Through mentorship programs, creative arts initiatives, and community partnerships—including projects such as OMK – The Musical, which helps fund and support the Foundation’s mission—we strive to restore confidence, cultivate self-worth, and provide practical opportunities for young adults to build stable and meaningful lives.

At OMKF, faith is our foundation. It shapes our heart for service and reminds us that every act of kindness, encouragement, and mentorship has the power to change the course of a life.
