You Are Not Alone!
Spreading hope and vital resources to children across New Jersey!
Our Mission!
As a non-profit organization, we are committed to supporting children and young adults facing mental health challenges. Through our proactive efforts, we gather and distribute therapeutic resources such as toys, books, art supplies, and fidget toys. Our primary aim is to facilitate healing and coping mechanisms for those in need.
Furthermore, we aspire to advance educational opportunities by offering scholarships to students encountering mental health obstacles. By recognizing their resilience and determination, we seek to empower them to pursue academic excellence despite their circumstances.
In addition, our organization endeavors to promote greater awareness and understanding of mental health issues. Through advocacy and outreach initiatives, we aim to foster a supportive environment and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.
We are dedicated to bridging the gap in resources by providing assistance to schools that lack adequate funding for mental health programs. By partnering with educational institutions, we strive to create inclusive environments where all students can thrive.
Together, we work towards a future where mental health is prioritized and supported, ensuring brighter prospects for children and young adults in our communities.

Testimonials
"Many students come in to the counseling office in our school throughout the course of the day. The supplies you have provided us have helped to calm students, provide calming support and increase their participation in services. Supplies like these really help us connect with students."
- School Counselor
"Thank you for your support and generosity. Supplies like this help students to feel more comfortable and engaged while in school but school budgets don't usually allow for them. Your support has truly made an impact on our students."
- School Counselor
"Reach Out supplies have helped my students when they are in distress. We have set up the fidgets, coloring books, playdoh, and other stress relievers in the sensory room. When students are struggling, they can ask to go to the sensory room and take advantage of those items. Once they get to play with these items, you can see the change in their body language and the stress just melts away."
