The Healthy Start Program delivers healthy and nutritious food to children from low-income families over weekends and long holidays, including summer and winter break, when there are no guaranteed meals from schools. Through a partnership with local DC public schools, we serve 100 elementary aged children in the D.C. area who live in high poverty, food insecure households by collecting healthy and nutritious food and filling backpacks with both perishable and non-perishable foods for children to take home.

Program 2

Expenses: $134,497

Hopes Mobile Health Clinics in Egypt is our way of providing a solution to the healthcare inequities that plague so many people in need all over Egypt. Through partnerships with local hospitals and medical clinics in Egypt, we are utilizing medical professionals to give back of their talents and bring their expertise to communities who typically couldnt access this level of care. We know we cant do it alone so these partnerships allow us to serve more people and connect more resources to those in need than we ever could on our own.

Program 3

Love Your City (LYC) program is our way of making a real impact in the lives of those in need in our local community and engaging first time volunteers and groups in a low commitment environment.
