ConfiKids
Founded in 2017, ConfiKids, Inc, is a nonprofit organization that strives to provide opportunities for children of limited financial means to participate in enrichment activities so that they may pursue their interests and passions, develop new skills, establish new relationships, and, ultimately, build confidence.
At ConfiKids, they believe every child should have the opportunity to thrive regardless of the ability to pay for the extracurricular program that suits them. ConfiKids works directly with parents, guardians, educators, coaches, and mentors who apply for children to receive financial support to participate in such activities.
Children grades 1-8, residing within the Southeastern MA counties of Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Barnstable, and who are on the FREE LUNCH PROGRAM at their school, can apply for funding.
Greater Boston Food Bank
GBFB is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. Last year, they distributed 117 million pounds of nutritious food to people who struggle to have enough to eat. They are committed to increasing their food distribution to provide three meals a day to every person in need in Eastern Massachusetts while supporting healthy lives and healthy communities.
The Greater Boston Food Bank is a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization.
iBeme
iBme formed from the foundation of a 30-year lineage of teen mindfulness which began with retreats offered in Barre, Massachusetts in 1989. It is from this foundation that co-founder Jessica Morey, who attended her first retreat at age 14, was inspired to launch a nonprofit dedicated to teaching mindfulness to young people. Since its founding in 2010, iBme has grown from a nonprofit based in Washington, DC to an international organization that holds retreats across the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and online — all offered with no teen ever turned away for lack of funds.
