Donation to Black Girls Code

Makenna Lenover

As LKHZ is educating itself and learning during this tumultuous time, we wanted to spread some love to an organization that promotes our message, but also diversity and inclusion.

We recently made a donation to Black Girls Code, an incredible nonprofit  devoted to teaching computer science skills to black girls ages 7-17, aiming to reduce the major disparities in the STEM and coding fields.

Racism is institutionalized, and seeps into our education system to perpetuate inequalities. LKHZ sees this globally, and America is not exempt from this. If anything, we are a prime example of racism and educational inequality. Organizations like Black Girls Code is a prime way to fight this (in addition to combatting racism and changing policies). Their free workshops incite passion and make small yet meaningful steps to empower WOC to enter the STEM world (which we need!).

Consider donating as well, no amount is too small!

Donation to Animal Foodbank of Lehigh Valley

Makenna Lenover

We’ve been working hard to support our community during this Covid-19 Crisis, and our furry friends are no exception. When life gets hard, feeding every mouth becomes stressful, especially our pets. Rather than take pets to the shelter during stress, the Animal Foodbank of the Lehigh Valley provides pet food to anyone who needs so they can keep their loved pets healthy and happy.

Their mission?

“Our mission is to keep companion animals in loving homes and prevent their surrender to the shelter system by supplying families with pet food in times of economic distress.”

We were happy to donate to this cause and support our families and pets in Allentown! Our donation will feed more pets, and we would love to hear if you went and supported this organization as well!

We can’t wait to share more of our relief efforts with you!

Local Community Donations

Makenna Lenover

Little Known Help Zone is happy to share we made two community donations during this stressful time of Covid.

Feeding the community is of utmost importance, so we donated to Second Harvest Food Bank in the Lehigh Valley and Philabundance in Philadelphia, enough to feed families for a week in both cities.

Allentown and Philadelphia are facing food insecurity during these trying times, and it is so important no one goes hungry and everyone stays healthy.

Advocacy

Giving Tuesday Donations

For Giving Tuesday, Little Known Help Zone conducted some civic engagement and gave to a variety of causes near and dear to our mission. These ranged from community to globally, and a diverse number of causes received support.

Jaguar Rescue Center- Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

This is a cause we have worked with extensively in the past (read our posts) and wanted to send a bit more love down there. This organization is doing incredible work with jungle animals in Costa Rica, and we’ve seen first hand how meaningful their work is.

Voices for Biodiversity

This is an anthropological organization that supports biodiversity and cultural diversity through global endeavors, preserving the vital ecology of our earth.

TechGirlz

This great group teaches tech and STEM skills to young girls from underprivileged communities, inspiring passion and helping enrich and mentor young women that may not have the resources.

Allentown Food Bank

This local organization feeds Allentown’s hungry, what more can we say than we want to give back to the community that has made this organization a reality.

Look Good Feel Better

This organization gives women undergoing chemo makeup and classes so that while they are working on getting better, they can feel beautiful.

Monthly Classroom Project

Pencil Donation from Created Kind Shop

Makenna Lenover

Little Known Help Zone received the most exciting donation from Created Kind Shop, hundred of gorgeous pencils!

These pencils said “I Am Strong,” which is such a kind message to give to students. We were graciously donated 35 5 packs of these pencils, and the packs are perfect to donate during our monthly classroom project.

This was such an exciting contribution to our project, and we’re so excited to share the kiddos with their pencils.
