Nonprofit organization with focused on human services

About Us

Kind Hearts For You is hope turned into action and great causes into the union. Working side by side and individually, often using their own money or asking friends for donations, two long-time friends decided it was time to reach out to more families. Dinize Wales and Ellen Pacola reinforced their commitment to connecting people to help one another for positive social change within society. KHFY aims to provide Bay Area families not only with food support but also with nutritional education.

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

Kind Hearts For You is dedicated to building resilient communities by launching Acts of Kindness campaigns to empower families in times of crisis and engage children to develop compassionate citizens. 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 are included in the bag.By starting and managing a strong network of people, our team delivers what we call Acts Of Kindness, where based on the goal of supporting a group of people and their specific needs, we guarantee an ecosystem that creates bridges between donors, volunteers, and families with special needs. Every week we deliver grocery bags to families in need. Each bag comes with a special encouragement message written by our volunteer’s children, and with a healthy recipe.

Food Station

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

Recipes

KHFY educates families on healthy and low budget food choices. Each bag comes with food and a healthy recipe (with ingredients included), and all the health benefits and nutrients provided by the ingredients.

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.
