The opportunities that we provide the children that we serve will last a lifetime and enable them to pursue their dreams and escape the burdens of poverty. Join us as we continue to boost literacy through our after-school programs, spark learning with software through our computer lab programs, fuel minds and bodies through proper nutrition, and provide much needed educational assistance and school supplies that would otherwise deprive children from their right to learn.
