New shoes for Hardeman County. New bicycles at Breakfast with Santa.
Our mission: strengthening rural and underserved communities through food access, youth education, and family support.
A volunteer-run public charity founded in 2024, working in Hardeman County, Tennessee, and northern Illinois.
Every item we give is new.
Our suppliers are Good360, NAEIR and Operation Warm. For the first Breakfast with Santa, in December 2024, a volunteer built the bicycles the night before.
At Breakfast with Santa and in Hardeman County, we work with local partners who know the families.
