About
Since 2018, Eyes of a Child has been dedicated to supporting families across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles County. Through our local programs, we’ve distributed fresh produce, school supplies, and essential resources to help children and families thrive.
How we help
Our impact is made possible through generous donations and partnerships with community organizations, local businesses, and fellow nonprofits. Together, we sustain programs that bring relief, education, and hope throughout the year.
Why it matters
Even in California, the world’s fifth-largest economy, many families in the San Fernando Valley face daily challenges. Within our vibrant Latino communities, access to consistent food, school resources, and housing stability remains a struggle. That’s why our work continues, because every child deserves a chance to grow with dignity and opportunity.
Our Mission in Action
Our programs provide children with food, education, clothing, and safe homes, ensuring they have the essentials to grow, learn, and thrive with hope
