Our Mission

Investing in Our Neighborhoods

We connect those who want to give with those who need the most. In Charlottesville VA, as well as business partners across the country. Our business partners want to make a difference in their local neighborhoods. We can help.

Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen local communities by helping close the gap between kids who can afford everyday necessities such as food and school supplies and those who can’t.

We support local Charlottesville, VA schools, groups, and organizations by focusing on seasonal needs such as Summer snacks, Winter meals and Spring Break needs. (and more!) We also help business owners do the same in the locations they live and work.

Every child needs a boost to be their best – we give kids a lift.
