Evelyn "Eva" Solis

How You Can Help
Donate
Your financial gifts directly support our programs, from art supplies to birthday celebrations. Every dollar makes a difference in bringing joy and healing to families in transition.
Volunteer
Share your time and talents! We need help with event planning, activity leaders, transportation, and more. Even a few hours monthly creates meaningful connections.
Corporate Partners
Businesses can sponsor events, donate in-kind gifts like yoga mats or art kits, or organize employee volunteer days. Your company can be a catalyst for community change.
Unity in Action
Community-Powered Change
Our foundation thrives because of everyday heroes like you. From high school students earning service hours to retirees sharing wisdom, our volunteers create the magic that makes our programs successful.
When we unite around families in crisis, we don't just offer temporary relief—we build lasting connections that transform lives. Every cupcake decorated, every book read, and every yoga session shared becomes part of someone's healing journey.

Join Us This Month!
We're preparing for our Unity Fest community picnic and need volunteers to help with crafts, food service, and setup. It's a perfect opportunity for families to volunteer together!
