How we make a difference
Every child is invaluable, deserving to be known, cared for, nurtured, protected, and loved on. We believe and dedicate ourselves to this cause.
Through strategic partnerships, we strive to provide long-term educational, social, and spiritual support to children in vulnerable populations around the world.
The Family
Funding for Foster Care
424 thousand
children in the United States are in the foster care system.
How We Improve Lives
The foster care system can be a confusing and sometimes frustrating place, but through our fundraising and enthusiastic partners, we strive to provide foster children with a brighter future, a sense of normalcy, and a sense of belonging.
We collaborate with community partners to bring resources to foster children and teens and use service-learning activities to educate on issues surrounding the foster care system. With the help of our enthusiastic volunteers and the support of generous donors, we strive to provide a better future for every child in foster care.

How We Provide Nutrition
ļ»æWhen children do not have enough food to eat, or the food available to them lacks necessary nutrients--malnutrition, starvation, and chronic health issues become a serious and potentially life-threatening reality. More than 800 children die due to contaminated water and unsanitary facilities daily. Clean water helps them stay healthy, remain active in school, and focus their energy on overcoming poverty.
Our initiative supports partners that meet the life-threatening needs of children, while also providing preventive care to support long-term wellness.

The Fuel
Funding for Overhead
