Mission
OUR MISSION IS TO CONNECT CHILDREN TO GIVING AND SERVICE. WE CALL IT TANGIBLE PHILANTHROPY AND BIG CITIZENSHIP. THOUSANDS OF LOCAL CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES DONATE GENTLY-USED CLOTHES, TOYS, BOOKS AND GOOD THINS THEY NO LONGER NEED OR USE AND THEN VOLUNTEER AT OUR REPURPOSING FACTORY TO PROCESS, ORGANIZE AND PACKAGE TONS OF DONATIONS TRANSFORMING THEM INTO THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUAL GIFT PACKAGES THAT ARE ORDERED BY LOCAL AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS FOR HOMELESS AND IN-NEED CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE. WE ALSO SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH STUDENT AND ADULT VOLUNTEERS IN EARLY LITERAZY PROGRAMMING IN KINDERGARTENS, DURING SCHOOL. WE ALSO PROGRAM ADULT VOLUNTEERS TO MENTOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, IN SCHOOL,AND AFTER SCHOOL.
