Who We Are
We are a non-profit, grass roots organization called the Alayah Foundation, named after our beautiful granddaughter Alayah. Over the last 14 years we have provided children with backpacks filled with essential school supplies to help them feel prepared and ready to take on the school year.
We were pleasantly surprised at the number of other charitable organizations that were providing school supplies as well as how many schools provided tablets to their students. With less of a need for these supplies we decided to shift our focus and provide essential hygiene products to families in need.
What We Do
1
Community Outreach
We work with other organizations in our community such as local schools, homeless shelters and foodbanks to find families who are experiencing financial hardships.
2
Needs Assessment
We then request the number of members in each household, their ages, and gender to be able to provide appropriate, age-based hygiene products.
3
Resource Mobilization
We send letters to friends, family, and other organizations to collect items and monetary donations to buy items that we then sort and distribute to the families in need.
