We work with any organization that supports children and families in need. Along with our own programs we partner with local schools and churches in our community to help provide life changing opportunities.
It has been our experience that providing programs that support the tangible and emotional needs leave the greatest impact on the lives of children. We make sure that any program we assist or develop is based around our core principles:
HOPE – By providing tangible goods and gifts alongside guided leadership from our volunteers we enable a child to declare “I CAN” complete this craft or activity. During our programs we put a strong emphasis on building the child up and providing a positive attitude towards everything we do.
OPPORTUNITY – Often our programs will require the child to step out of there comfort zone and engage in an activity they have never participated in. We provide mentorship and support to the child to help them overcome any fear from unfamiliarity. This continues to build confidence in the child and it fills our hearts when we can see a child transform from not wanting to participate to declare “I DID IT”
HAPPINESS – By providing unexpected experiences and the joy that it brings the children we are able to witness true happiness. The child will often express in their own words how “HAPPY” they are.
Overall we stay focused on communicating to the child and families that someone cares for them.
We are in our 5th year of our annual Give the Gift Program. This is a unique program where we teach Children the gift of giving to one another. We partner with local schools and Boys & Girls Clubs in Martin and Palm Beach County.
Due to Covid-19 we wanted to do something to keep children engaged with hands on activities. We reached out to Kiwico and set up a weekly giveaway to the first 50 visitors on our website.
We believe in educating families and children in sustainable gardening. We have a passion for equipping our local communities to grow food in their schools and homes.
We have access to 2 fishing boats to introduce children to their first fishing experience. Chaperones accompany the children and teach them about fishing. We conclude the day with a picnic lunch and awards ceremony.
