Mission:
Our mission is to enhance the lives of homeless children throughout the year with interactive and educational programs to help end the cycle of homelessness. Our organization is run 100% by volunteers to help the homeless children throughout the year with holiday gifts, school supplies, educational programs, live necessities, food, clothing, self-esteem life-planning workshops for the mothers, and more. Our program is currently working on building transitional housing for 40 families.
Results:
Over the past 10 years we have been able to implement reading and tutoring programs as well as provide a free summer Edu-Camp to help with the childrens future success in school.
We have seen families move successfully from homelessness into a stable environment and housing.
Our program has increased its programs and won several awards for the new programs offered.
