Experience

ONE GOOD DEED CAN CHANGE A CHILD'S FUTURE

We work with schools and social service agencies to help homeless & foster children.

School attendance, knowledge, & dignity rise 

when children receive the support they need!

We purchase closeouts & supplies by the pallet tax free so your dollars go further.

(Help pack supplies, tutor or  join our High School or Adult Brighter Futures Board)
