Project snapshot
The Maya Smiles Project is a crucial initiative in our working-class neighborhood, particularly important because many parents here are first-generation immigrants. We aim to provide free shoes and clothing to children in need, fostering a sense of community support. By organizing local fairs and events, we connect with families to understand their needs better and share common goals. Our project relies on dedicated volunteers who generously offer their time. We sustain our efforts by collaborating with donors and local vendors to secure the necessary supplies. The collective effort of volunteers and donors ensures that we can continue to impact the community positively, giving children the essentials they need to thrive.
