Project Title: Safe Starts for Youth (Birth\u201321): Essentials, Healing Kits & School-Break Support
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Margie\u2019s Haven House (MHH) is a 24\/7 domestic violence shelter and advocacy program serving families in crisis. Through Safe Starts for Youth, MHH will provide immediate, practical support to children, teens, and young adults (birth\u201321) who enter shelter or receive outreach\/aftercare services after fleeing violence. When youth arrive, they often lack basic necessities and the stability supports needed to remain safe, continue school, and begin healing.<\/p>\n
Grant funds will be fully used during the year following the award to provide three youth-centered components: (1) Essentials support for birth\u201321 (diapers, formula, wipes, hygiene items for teens, socks\/underwear, and seasonal clothing); (2) Comfort and regulation kits (books, journals, sensory\/calming items, blankets, night lights, art supplies, and age-appropriate coping tools); and (3) School stability supports (backpacks, basic school supplies, and small school-related fees when needed to reduce barriers for youth).<\/p>\n
Small add-on: School-Break Youth Market (K\u201312). During summer and other school breaks, MHH will offer a small, choice-based \u201cStudent Market\u201d for children served through our shelter and outreach\/aftercare programs to help fill nutrition gaps when school meals are unavailable. Families will select shelf-stable breakfast, lunch, and snack items in a trauma-informed, dignity-centered way.<\/p>\n
MHH will track youth served, categories of items distributed, market visits, and brief caregiver\/youth feedback at exit or follow-up. Any unspent funds will be returned to the Foundation per guidelines.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $10,000.00<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Community donations and in-kind items (ongoing); General operating funds (as needed to supplement); Potential local civic\/faith partners for school supplies and snacks (pending).<\/p>\n
Project Duration: January 1, 2027 \u2013 December 31, 2027
\nGeographical Area Served: Heber Springs and Cleburne County, Arkansas, plus outreach\/aftercare to surrounding areas as needed for survivor safety.
\nAge Group To Be Served: Birth through 21 (School-Break Youth Market focused on K\u201312).<\/p>\n
