We’re feeling incredibly grateful today. 💛
This morning, we received a heartfelt thank-you from our partners at Identity, sharing how your Summer Fun Stuff donations are already making a difference for the young people they serve.
Because of your generosity, their programs are not only running—they’re thriving. Children are able to participate, engage, and truly enjoy meaningful summer experiences that they might not otherwise have had access to.
To every volunteer, donor, and supporter:
Thank you for making moments like this possible.
Your kindness ripples further than you can imagine—and together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community.
💛 With gratitude,

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers and donors who made this year’s Summer Fun Stuff project possible!
Whether you gave an hour or showed up week after week, every contribution mattered.
Because of you:
✨ Over 2,000 Summer Fun sacks were distributed
📚 Each sack included 2–4 books
🎨 Thousands of arts & crafts items were packed
🤝 New partnerships helped us reach even more children
You assembled kits, packed sacks, wrote “Happy Summer” notes, organized books, and helped bring joy to thousands of children across our community.
Special thanks to the Bender JCC of Greater Washington for five years of generous support—your partnership makes this project possible year after year.
🖍️ Because of YOU, thousands of children will start summer with books, creativity, and the reminder that their community cares.
📸 Stay tuned for delivery photos coming soon!

Today we were reminded that technology donations are about so much more than devices.
The KindWorks Digital Empowerment Program picked up donated computers from Coforma (coforma.io/) computers that will soon become tools for learning, job searching, workforce training, communication, and new beginnings.
During our visit, Coforma founder Eduardo Ortiz was being honored by the SBA, with recognition focused on innovation, intentionality, and philanthropy.
Before we left, Eduardo, a former Marine, shared a Marine Corps challenge coin with us. The coin included two phrases that deeply resonated with our team:
“Let’s make something that matters together.”
“Impactful innovation.”
We couldn’t think of a better description of what happens when organizations come together to create opportunity for others.
Thank you, Coforma, for your generosity and partnership. ... See MoreSee Less
