About Us
Our Mission:
To provide children and families in need with impactful items that will help them during difficult times while promoting hope, resilience, and opportunity.
Our Vision:
All children and families will have access to support when they need it the most.
We believe that small gifts can make a big difference to those in need.
Overview:
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to children and families in need. Often it is unforeseen circumstances that threaten the stability of a family. Resources to obtain extra finances at a time of urgent need are often limited or nonexistent. In these situations, financial assistance to help obtain essential items specific to a family’s needs may act as a bridge to avert a crisis.
As individuals and families work to improve their lives, they often encounter opportunities for growth that involve a financial burden. A new opportunity or educational enrichment may positively alter their path, help them grow, and ultimately lead them to a better future. A small grant enabling them to accept this opportunity could be life changing.
On a local level, we are working together with social service and educational organizations in our community to identify children and families where a small gift can make a big difference.
