Projects

CARE BAG PROJECT

During the Spring of 2020, this project provided groceries, paper products and personal hygiene items to assist families who have been financially impacted as a result of the COVID-19 quarantine. In addition, art & school supplies were included to help children with home school assignments and to encourage them to create works of art. The Positive Guide to Parenting, Daily Kindness Activity Calendars, directions on how to register for the Census as well as local resources were also provided for parents to inform and reduce stress.

IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT

POSTER CAMPAIGN

Displaying these posters in and around the valley areas, our goal is to remind parents that it only takes a moment a day to instill and encourage goals and interests in children through playing, singing and talking with them.

THE REPORT CARD INSERT PROJECT

This project will be coordinated with the Los Angeles County Office of Education and individual public and private school districts to raise public awareness and the awareness of parents regarding non-abusive ways to respond to academic or behavioral problems children may have at school.
