Not every organization can afford a paid profile, which pays for the production. So there is a list of contact information for all in the back.

One paragraph about your organization’s history/work:
Coast Kids is committed to meeting the ever-evolving needs of the children in our community. Our current focus is on funding the Backpack Program through the K-12 public schools. Each week, students struggling with food security receive a bag of food to take home on Fridays. We are working with local suppliers to make these food bundles as fresh, nutritious and appetizing as possible. We appreciate the support of local individuals and businesses who are contributing to the positive impact of this program. We also have the ability to provide additional types of support, such as hygiene items, to children and youth. Reach out if you have collaboration ideas!
