It takes one person to make someone's day.
We turn everyday generosity into care kits for people facing hardship, collected by our community, packed by students, delivered through local partners.
Monetary gifts are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law.
To: every person in need

Hey there,
We don't know your name or what life has been like for you lately. But we wish we could remind you, in person, that you matter.
Running out of toothpaste is an inconvenience for some.
For others, it's a choice between that and dinner.
A fresh pair of socks costs almost nothing.
For someone walking all day, it's everything.
Being forgotten is one of the heaviest things to carry.
A handwritten note says: not by us.
Three easy ways to give.
Pick the one that fits your day. Every option fills real kits for real neighbors.
