When parents are stressed,
kids feel it too.
This holiday season, ensure families get the support they need, so everyone can thrive.



If parents are worried about paying bills and putting food on the table, that stress can also weigh on kids. And if kids are struggling, their parents lose sleep wondering if they’re okay. Schools and community hubs become vital for kids and families—keeping them connected to much-needed support.
When someone’s light goes out, it affects those around them and our community.
We are all connected.
Help local kids shine again.

- Improve access to after-school programs, homework clubs, and summer camps
