ABOUT US
Be An Elf! – Helping Hungry Kids, is now a registered 501(c) non-profit organization. Having recently turned 15, I am now able to register as an official non-profit organization, which could not have happened without the dedicated donations and help of all of my steadfast supporters. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me come this far.
In 2018, Be an Elf! – Helping Hungry Kids was founded. After 7 years of community service, we are proud to do it once again. While it is not commonplace knowledge, over 6000 scholars in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are in serious need of financial aid. Though Be An Elf! does not help with the finances, we can help by donating food to satisfy their hunger. My fundraiser reaches approximately 1,000 kids of those in need. Over the past 6 years, we have served over 12,500 healthy meals together and provided over 1,100 family sanitary kits through Be An Elf!
wHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
Last year every $19 (approx.) donated to our cause provided 3-4 healthy meals for a family of 4, as well as a family sanitary kit.
In 2024, each Meal Box had 2-3 lbs. of rice, 2 cans of chicken breast, 2 cans of vegetables, 2 cans of beans, and 1 box of Mac and Cheese. In total, this served 3000 meals (approx.). Individually, the value of each Meal Box was $12.50
Each Sanitary Kit had 2 toothbrushes, 1 full-size toothpaste, 1 deodorant, 2 soap cakes, and 1 full-size shampoo. In total, these served 150 families. Individually, the value of each Sanitary Kit was $6.50.
Our MISSION
Be An Elf! -Helping Hungry Kids is dedicated to alleviating hunger and supporting children in need within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. By providing healthy meals and essential sanitary kits, our mission is to foster hope and nourishment for all.
Not many people know this but about 1.3 million families in North Carolina are below the poverty line, limiting their lifestyles and access to basic necessities. These families need assistance as soon as possible!!
Additionally, this year I am in 9th grade, and high school is a whole new ballgame with lots of different people, experiences, and obstacles. Among this new ecosystem, I still see a tremendous amount of kids who seem neglected or lacking in the context of both food and hygiene.
Hence, I attempt to help.
