501(c)(3) public charity · EIN 99-3744225
New shoes in Hardeman County. New bicycles in Lake County.
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. Volunteers build the bicycles the night before each Breakfast with Santa.
At Breakfast with Santa and in Hardeman County, we work with local partners who know the families.
