Seeds of caring

Our Impact

“You aren't going to save the world on your own. But you might inspire a generation of kids to save it for all of us. You would be amazed at what inspired children can do.”

—Dr. Jane Goodall

Teaming together with caring grown-ups and kids, we nurture a commitment to kindness, establish volunteerism, and build bridges across our community. Here’s a snapshot of the collective impact of our work in 2025, with a reach far beyond our measure in the future.
