Tackling food insecurity

Join us in tackling food insecurity among youth in our area. Our amazing community has already committed to over 580 bundles! But lets not stop there! There is more work to do!

If you are interested in being a part of this effort, please reach out to us.

How it works:
  • You purchase your own product and we will coordinate getting tags, rubber bands and ribbons to you......... or.........
  • You purchase all of the product from us at a cost of $2.50 per bundle.
  • All completed bundles will be returned to us, tallied as a part of our Drive and delivered to those in need.

This assortment of snacks will be delivered to various local Boys & Girls Clubs and food assistance programs. Please reach out to us if interested in getting your family involved.

New Project Alert!
Introducing the Camp Craft Pack
 
This new project was created for various organizations that provide camping programs and services to young people who are economically disadvantaged.   Kids who might not have an opportunity to experience camp due to a lack of funds.

To many children, a simple box of crayons is considered a luxury.  With all of the expenses of financially disadvantaged families, there just may not be enough money for items such as these. But they are important items that are such a big part of ‘being a kid’!

Check out our website for this and other great projects benefiting children.
National Foster Care Month
 
National Foster Care Month, celebrated in May, shows appreciation and gratitude to foster parents across the nation. Foster care intends to provide a safe environment for children and youth who temporarily cannot live with their families.

In honor of National Foster Care Month, we would like to highlight a special organization, Camp to Belong. Their mission is to reunite siblings who have been separated by foster care through a week long summer camp as well as other events through the year.

We will be donating 100 of our Camp Craft Packs to the camp to be distributed to the campers this year!
Celebrating Those Who Serve

National Military Appreciation Month is celebrated every May and is a declaration that encourages US citizens to say thank you. Thank you to the men and women who serve this country and to their families for sacrificing so much.
 
Hand written notes of 'gratitude' is a great way to say thank you! A great activity for the kids... or for the whole family. Need ideas of what to write? Click below:
