  • We coordinate collection drives for items and give directly & immediately to those who need them.
  • We customize community volunteer service projects for companies, schools and groups. ​
  • We volunteer, support and coordinate events for local causes.
  • We  partner with leaders, organizations & companies in projects to help the community.
