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.
Inward Bound Mindfulness
Inward Bound Mindfulness is part of a deep lineage of teen mindfulness retreats which began in Barre, MA in 1989. It was from this foundation that co-founder Jessica Morey and others were inspired to launch a nonprofit dedicated to teaching mindfulness in an immersive environment to young people. Since our founding in 2010, Inward Bound has grown from a small nonprofit to a national leader with retreats having been offered in 16 states and 3 countries.
