Yours Humanly works to serve immediate needs, especially during disasters. Due to this crisis, we are implementing a COVID-19 Aid Initiative and urgently raising funds to support local and global efforts to provide morning and midday meals for children who need food; distance learning tools for teachers and children, such as laptops and Chromebooks to use at home and internet hotspots for families without internet; and educational supplies. We need your support. Give Today!

Yours Humanly has announced three recipients of its quarterly Children Have the Power to Empower® Award, which recognizes children for their outstanding acts of goodness. The Children Have the Power to Empower® Award showcases “service to others” in a meaningful way and demonstrates to family, friends, and community that even children have the power to empower when they lend a helping hand and an open heart.
