Operation Homefront: Support Military Kids

We’re proud to announce that our Back-to-School Brigade® is back for 2025! This annual program provides backpacks, school supplies, and gift cards to military children – helping ease the financial burden for families as they gear up for the new school year.

In 2024, they distributed over 400 backpacks and supply kits across Southern Nevada. This year, they’re aiming to serve just as many—if not more.

Let’s rally around our military and veteran families—because every child deserves to start the school year with confidence.

Shine a Light Foundation: Building Care Boxes for Our Neighbors in Need

Shine a Light is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit transforming lives – one person, one connection, one step at a time. Through our Las Vegas Safety Net program, we provide innovative continuity case management that helps individuals experiencing homelessness access resources, achieve stability, and find long-term housing.

At Hope in Action, we’re building Care Boxes for those actively navigating homelessness. Each box is filled with essentials and hope. Your time and compassion matter.

Project Dot: Fight Period Poverty in Our Community

Project Dot supports people experiencing homelessness and low income by distributing monthly hygiene kits in small, decorative bags to shelters and schools across Las Vegas.

Period poverty is a gender equity issue – many girls miss school because they can’t afford pads or tampons. That can add up to 144 missed days a year.

Each kit includes a one-month supply of menstrual products, basic hygiene items, and a few self-care touches – plus a kind note to remind them they matter.
