Need Help?

Little Known Help Zone wants to help you during this stressful time of the Covid-19 Pandemic. We know people are struggling, in so many ways, and we feel it is essential we give back to the community and people who need it most.

Are you an organization we’ve worked with in the past that needs another helping hand? Reach out!

Even a company that has been generous and donated to our causes previously? We want to do what we can to support you.

If you have a great idea to give back right now with the Brighter Future Grant, we also want to fund these initiatives.

Whether you’re an organization, individual, or company, LKHZ wants to #colorourfuture to make it through these tough times.

Little Known Help Zone is excited to promote our 2020 Brighter Future Grant Program!

You may have remembered us announcing this program later last year, and we really want to promote civic engagement in our communities.

To encourage applicants, we are going on our Brighter Future tour and handing out bookmarks with instructions to apply. Kids submit essays on their plan for the grant, and then we award amounts for them to make a difference in their community.

LKHZ’s New Initiative

June 3, 2019June 3, 2019 Makenna Lenover

When Little Known Help Zone was started, it sprang from injustice, compassion, and passion. A 14 year old girl with the drive to make a difference. Something that I always heard when I was younger was “more young kids need to do things like this.” I spoke about it too. Organizations would bring me in as a nonprofit founder and I would be this teenage figure that should inspire others.

I’m 22 now, and while my big campaigns have filled me with joy, I’m starting graduate school and a job, and I don’t have 3 hours to drive into Philly traffic and donate pencils. Instead, I want to take Little Known Help Zone to a new level, supporting kids and their service projects.

I want to sustain the way I felt and inspire others.

This will be done through Color Creates a Brighter Future, my children’s coloring book that teaches kids how to recognize inequality and make a difference in their world.

LKHZ will be reading the book different places, giving children bookmarks that are a guide to starting their own service projects, and hosting a bi-yearly grant contest to support service initiatives!

We’re excited for this new initiative, as all great things evolve to shine light in the world, LKHZ has too.
