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.

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.
Little Known Help Zone is so proud to announce our newest endeavor, Color Creates a Brighter Future. This is a children’s coloring book that inspires children to embark on their own service projects by teaching them how to recognize their passions and act on them to make a change in the world.
This book is available for $8 and all proceeds support Little Known Help Zone’s mission to empower children for educational success.

LKHZ will be traveling to Mexico in a few weeks and making sure to give back while in the area. When in Playa del Carmen, LKHZ will be donating the remaining book donations from last year’s trip to Keep Kids in School Project (KKIS). This organization works hard to both keep kids in school and educate them in English. The English books will be great practice to read.
Also while there, LKHZ will be helping to pack backpacks of school supplies for once the school season resumes in Fall. Stay tuned for pictures from the visit, as well as upcoming projects!

Just as the Little Known Help Zone backpacks for the 5 new orphans at Hogar de Amor were sent, it was discovered that 3 more children of the ages of 3, 5, and 10 were added to the home!
Little Known Help Zone knew the need to send more was there and went out and purchased items for the three girls. These are on their way to Honduras, with shipping generously provided by DIP shipping. Funding for these backpacks was earned through fundraising efforts from earlier this year.
Check out the new backpacks!
Last night was thoroughly successful, and Little Known Help Zone is so excited to share the results.
The table set up was great and brought in a lot of attention.
Many people were interested in the items being sold and the work I was doing.
The bracelets were a popular item amongst adults and children, and the kids loved the crayons!
In addition to raising $93.10 Â for the causes, Little Known Help Zone gained some great exposure!
Through additional fundraising efforts, Little Known Help Zone hopes to reach the goal! We’re 1/8 of the way there!
