Staggering Statistics: The Absence of Fathers in AmericaAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 17.8 million children in America live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in their home. That’s more than twice the population of New York City and four times that of Los Angeles.The Impact of Fatherhood: Lower Crime and Better EducationResearch shows that having an involved, responsible, and committed father in the home benefits communities across our country by lowering rates of crime (especially juvenile crime) and teen pregnancy — while also improving educational outcomes for a better future.The absence of a father, on the other hand, increases a child’s chance of having behavioral problems, being abused, dropping out of school, committing a crime, falling into addiction, or becoming an absent father themselves.PublicSquare's Partnership with the National Fatherhood InitiativeThat is why PublicSquare is proud to partner with the National Fatherhood Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to increasing father involvement nationwide. Through educational programs, courses, and resources, NFI is leading the path forward in healing this country one family unit at a time. And over the past thirty years, it has distributed over 11 million resources around the world that have strengthened families and built more resilient communities.Celebrate Fatherhood: Curated Products to Support FamiliesTo further support these efforts for cultural change, PublicSquare will donate 10% of proceeds from all sales in the lead up to Father’s Day and throughout the month of June to NFI. That means, when you vote with your dollar this month, you will be supporting families as well as the transformative power of fatherhood across the country.Here are some ideas to celebrate the father in your life while also helping others through the carefully curated products available on PublicSquare:Didier Family RanchThe family that cooks together stays together.

This is the ultimate grass-fed, grain-finished selection packed with sirloin steaks, filet mignon, NY strip, and premium ground beef that’s been aged for over twenty days — with no added hormones or mRNA vaccines (good luck finding that at your local grocer).Hunnicut Outdoor LivingTeens with involved dads have lower levels of stress and depression, and sometimes all they need is a hands-on project to forge an even stronger bond. The “Do It Yourself” Windmill Kit from Hunnicutt Outdoor Living is a perfect opportunity to build something together as a team that will last for years to come.North Shore Sauna LLCBoys have fewer behavioral problems while girls have fewer psychological struggles when their fathers are actively involved in their lives. So perhaps now is the time to embark on a new family health routine using the Portable Sauna Tent from North Shore Sauna. Sauna is one of the healthiest ways to detox the body, clear the mind, and create a deep sense of self-worth. Goals are important, but a legacy of good habits can last a lifetime – and it often starts with parents who lead by example.ProTinkerToysChildren benefit from closeness with their father figure in so many ways, but nothing helps a child’s development more than a sense of safety and play. While unstructured playtime is essential, playing games and having fun with Dad is equally as beneficial.

It’s a perfect gift for the car enthusiast at any age and an excellent opportunity to teach the joys of winning and play.Crossnet
