Our successful programs attract more than 500 kids daily.
More families than ever rely on us for meals and a safe place for their kids.
State and local budget cuts hurt youth development funding.
Every child matters, and every child is our future.
Join in our mission to help some of the poorest children in the Commonwealth. We make a difference in the lives of these children by giving them hope, direction, programs, services, and love.
It costs $850 to provide one child with recreational and educational support for a year. Can you help?
