Become A Dream Launcher!

You can help kids hold on to their hopes for a brighter future.

When you donate on an ongoing basis your kindness is shared with children and youth in child welfare at a time when they need it most.

Your monthly or yearly donation means these children, youth and their families, have a dependable base of support, investing in their future. Not only do we provide emergency needs, like a new bed, stroller, or clothing, but we fund preventative programs directed to where it’s needed most.
