Seeds of Charity is a local nonprofit dedicated to filling the gaps often left by government and low-income programs. We provide financial assistance, community resources, and hope to individuals and families facing hardships—regardless of background. Our mission is simple: plant “small seeds of charity” that grow into acts of kindness and support for years to come. Every dollar raised helps us extend a hand to neighbors in need and strengthen our community through compassion in action.
Proceeds from the Strides for Survival event directly support Seeds of Charity’s mission to provide hope and relief to families in need. A portion of the funds will be used to bring joy during the holidays by purchasing Christmas gifts for families affected by breast cancer. Last year, we were able to sponsor several families, including children whose mothers were battling breast cancer. Your generosity makes it possible for us not only to continue these holiday efforts, but also to expand resources and assistance to families throughout the year.
