Please do not judge our food list. Many children we serve do not have access to refrigerators, stoves, or even stable housing. Our food selections are carefully chosen so children can safely eat food due to their circumstances.

💜We would love to thank you directly through amazon, but they do not provide donor contact information. Please email us your receipt and information to receive a tax letter.

🩷Thank you for nourishing children without access to food pantries over the weekend! We are GRATEFUL!!!! 💜

A little boy and his sister shared, My baby brother got adopted. We’ll never see him again. They asked, why didn’t they want them, too. Then more children living in the foster facilities asked? “Why doesn’t anyone love us?” “Want me?”

We want to turn their heartbreak into “You are My Special Person Day” to help them understand that not all families look at the same.

How can you help?

Write a special message (1-2 sentences only!) We will put your positive & uplifting message on a banner.

Please leave your message in the comment section.

They need to know there is also world of caring people that they haven’t meet rooting for them!

Thank you for your help!
