Project Title: Metro Kids
Project Description:
His Haven Inc. is seeking $6,000 in funding to support and expand our Metro Kids program, a comprehensive initiative designed to empower at-risk youth in Elmira’s low-income communities. Operating from our Woodlawn Court Community Center for the past 4 years we are currently moving to a new building, Metro Kids serves children from birth to 18 years old, providing a safe haven and essential resources to break the cycle of poverty.
Our program offers a multifaceted approach to child development, including:
1. Educational Support: After-school programs and holiday activities to enhance learning and academic performance.
2. Nutritional Assistance: Free meals and participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to ensure proper nutrition.
3. Social-Emotional Development: Guidance and support to build resilience and positive behaviors.
4. Basic Needs Provision: Distribution of clothing, school supplies, and other essentials through initiatives like our Back to School Clothing Drop and Coat Drop.
5. Financial Literacy: Innovative programs like the $tacks Conduct Incentive Program teach children about healthy behavioral choices and financial skills.
6. Community Engagement: The Kids Farmers Market allows children to actively participate in running a market and selecting fresh produce for their families.
7. Fostering Generosity: Our unique "Under the Tree From Me" program enables children to experience the joy of giving during the holiday season.
Since its inception in Summer 2022, Metro Kids has seen steady growth in participation. We are now preparing to move into a larger facility to accommodate this growth and expand our programming. With your support, we aim to reach more at-risk youth, providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve their full potential and create thriving communities.
By investing in Metro Kids, you’re not just funding a program; you’re transforming lives and building a stronger, more hopeful future for Elmira’s children.
