Nonprofit organization with focused on human services

Our Purpose

Our main goal is to alleviate the suffering of families in the community by providing food and essential hygiene items to those in need.
‍
We seek to empower families by launching educational programs and acts of Kindness and engaging volunteers to become more compassionate and empathic citizens through service to their community.

VALUES:
Kindness, Empathy, Honesty, Transparency

We welcome everyone, regardless of age, immigration status, race, sexual orientation, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender identity, ideology, or income, and have the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.

What We Do

Every week our dedicated team of staff and volunteers distributes grocery bags to low income families and individuals. Each bag comes with food and a healthy recipe (with ingredients included). From time to time children’s books and a special encouragement message written by children is included in the bag.
‍
KHFY educates families on healthy and low budget food choices. Our recipes include all the health benefits and nutrients provided by the ingredients.
‍
We engage young volunteers on a weekly basis. They help us in preparing the bags, writing letters of encouragement to the families, and distributing food at our missions. These transformative experiences educate teenagers and children to develop a sense of awareness and empathy, and the willingness to help less privileged people. As a result, they grow into valuable members of the community.
‍
One of our programs is to hold seasonal events that bring art and culture to the children.
‍
We also develop relationships with these families so that we can provide for their specific needs.

You may choose to establish a neighborhood Food Station and have an empty bin delivered to your house to be collected once a week.

Youth volunteering

Youth volunteerism is the key to creating lifelong change. Volunteering promotes a positive impact in the lives of children and teenagers by giving a sense of purpose and providing a natural sense of accomplishment. Youth who volunteer are more likely to perform better at school and work, and become civically active adults.

Food Distribution

Currently we distribute weekly in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.

Events

We have fun filled events throughout the year that bring arts, culture and joy to the children of the families we help.

Youth Cooking Class

Once a month we provide a youth cooking class free of charge, so the children can enjoy learning fun ways to cook and eat healthy foods.
