The Precious & Dear Guardian Angels Fund exists to provide immediate assistance for the children we support and their families who are facing urgent needs.

Whether it’s diapers, clothing, or food, this fund allows us to respond right away when a family is struggling. Many of the families we serve face financial challenges that make even basic needs hard to meet. Through this program, we can step in to provide relief and care with dignity, exactly when it’s needed most.

As part of the Precious & Dear Guardian Angels Fund, the Blessings Bags program was started. Specifically designed to help children and families facing food insecurity, this program sends home a “Blessings Bag” with children in need every Friday, filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods that help bridge the weekend meal gap. These bags include items such as fruit and vegetable cups, family staples like spaghetti and sauce and other foods to make the weekend a little easier to manage. Additionally, the Precious & Dear Guardian Angels Fund also provides funding for daily snacks and lunch items when needed, to make sure no child goes hungry while at Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center.

100% of your gift stays local and any amount makes an immediate impact!
