Yesterday was a fantastic day at Empower Children for Success (ECFS) as our dedicated volunteers came together to pack our Calming Kits. These kits will provide much-needed support to children in our community, helping them manage stress and anxiety.

We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers for their hard work and enthusiasm in packing the kits. Their dedication and energy were truly inspiring. We also want to extend our deepest thanks to our generous donors and collaborators, (CHNA9, DCU for Kids, Enterprise Bank, Lajna Imaillah, LUK, Inc., and NewVue Communities, and individual donors) whose contributions made it possible to purchase the materials for the kits and to create the learning materials for parents. Without their support, this initiative would not have been possible.

Additionally, we are thankful to Highland Baptist Church for graciously offering us the space to store our inventory and pack the kits. Their support has been invaluable in making this project a success.

This program is vital for our community as it supports children’s mental health by providing tools and resources to help them cope with stress, promoting emotional well-being. By involving volunteers and local organizations, we strengthen community bonds and foster a sense of shared purpose. The Calming Kits empower families to support their children’s mental health at home, creating a more nurturing environment. Moreover, by ensuring all children have access to these resources, we promote health equity and bridge gaps in mental health support, particularly in underserved areas.

Your support and dedication make a significant difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. Together, we are creating a more supportive and nurturing community. Thank you for being a part of this important mission!
