Our events and services are 100% free for the community. Your generous donations are essential to our success and make it possible for us to provide resources and services to the communities that need it the most. We invite you to join the fun and donate today.  We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations and contributions are tax-deductible. Here are some ways your donation creates impact:

$25 - supports the sustainability of our community garden

$50 - provides dinner for our youth group sessions

$100 - keeps our food pantry mobile and accessible for the week

$250 - helps provide cameras for our youth photography classes

$500 - covers cost to serve 20 food insecurity families for a month

1 out of 3 young people will grow up without a mentor. We don't like those numbers so we invite you to work with our young people in group sessions as well as one on one relationships. Becoming a mentor means you are providing stability, support, and a positive role model in a young person's life. Help build better communities by helping to change young lives. You will find that your life is changed as well. Sign up to mentor!

It's simple. We wouldn't exist without our volunteers. Without people like you giving their time and talents we couldn't do all the amazing work we've done. Whether helping to deliver food with our mobile food pantry, helping young people improve their academic skills, or helping with the administrative side, our volunteers are the engines that keep us going. Superheroes don't change the world. YOU do! We can’t wait for you to volunteer with us.
