Our Mission
The First Fruits’ mission is to cultivate hope within families around the world and empower them to grow into their full potential.
Cultivating Hope
Footprints Floors is rooted in the family. Family is at the core of what we do and branches to all aspects of the business. It's how Footprints treats corporate employees, franchise owners, and vendors. Out of our family first culture, the First Fruits fund was born.
The First Fruits fund was founded to cultivate thriving families by sowing the seeds of hope and love. First Fruits is founded on the belief that every family should have the fundamental building blocks of a hope filled and fulfilling life.
We envision a future where families are given the opportunity to blossom and flourish and equipped with the tools and knowledge to persevere through the trials of this life.
Through our strategic partnerships, we aspire to sow the seeds of eternal change by meeting tangible physical, emotional, and educational needs. To cultivate a landscape where the first fruits of our collective efforts yield sustainable, lasting impact for generations to come.
Our Roots
2008
As new homeowners with three energetic daughters and three large dogs, Bryan and Kelli Park found themselves in need of new floors after their dogs ate their carpet. Bryan was disappointed with the lack of efficiency and solid business practices in the retail flooring industry, and decided to take it upon himself to make a change - thus Footprints Floors was founded!
2013
After humble beginnings, in 2013 Bryan and Footprints Floors began to sell franchises in Colorado. By 2016, all Colorado territories had been sold and the franchise model had begun. The Footprints Family continued to grow in 2018 as franchises were offered nationally!
2022
Footprints Floors launched the First Fruits Fund; a philanthropic arm that pledges 25% of corporate profits to non-profit organizations. Footprints Floors’ culture is rooted in the family, it is at the core of what we do and branches to all aspects of the business. First Fruits exists to serve families through the provision of holistic family care, youth education, and childhood enrichment.
Today
The First Fruits Fund has chosen to strategically partner with organizations to multiply the Fund’s impact. Our current partners are Open Door Ministries, Hope’s Promise, Thimar - BBS, and Joyful Light. Each organization has faithfully demonstrated impactful investment in the lives of children and families globally.
Our Branches
We founded First Fruits to bless and serve families locally and abroad through thoughtful investment into strategic partnerships. We have curated relationships to leverage and multiply our impact across the following three pillars:
Holistic Family Care
Holistic care is focused on caring for the whole person, nurturing all aspects of a family to help it cultivate and grow. Holistic family care is meeting the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional needs of a family to help it grow into its full potential. Due to the prevalence of economic, social, physical, and other hardships, families are forced to endure in an environment lacking this comprehensive care. We support and partner with organizations committed to providing holistic care to families meeting their comprehensive needs.
Youth Education & Enrichment At-Risk Youth
We believe a key characteristic of a healthy family is the continued education of children as they learn and grow. The term paideia was used by the Ancient Greeks to describe education. Paideia referred to education that was not just the teaching of facts and the training to do things, but rather the formation of a soul and the crafting of an individual like a work of art. We are passionate about investing with our partners in fostering this type of education and enrichment, fostering works of art from the youth in our communities and abroad.
Adoption Facilitation & Orphan Care
UNICEF estimates there are over 150 million orphans worldwide, a staggering and overwhelming number. The continued growth of this number demands action. We partner with organizations that firmly believe every child matters and is committed to making a difference one child at a time. The organizations support prospective parents and help facilitate adoption both domestically and internationally to help grow families. They additionally operate orphan care and prevention programs across the world to change lives one child at a time.
