Overview

Mission

Deliver a message of hope to individuals of all ages facing life challenges and foster a spirit of caring by one person for another, to reach out and connect with others in their time of need through the act of giving a wooden coin lasered with an angel and the message you are never alone and our new coin with our logo of two figures reaching out to each other and the message i matter, you matter. Over 162,000 caring coins have been shared around the world.

What it reported doing in 2016

Continued to share a message of caring and hope to foster children, prisoners, families in violence, veterans and our troops. Our newest initiative this year has been to bring awareness to homelessness in Vermont while inviting individuals the opportunity to sponsor a woolen caring blanket for a homeless child or adult. We shared 500 woolen caring blankets throughout Vermont.we continue to share the i matter, you matter, let's start the conversation program with schools and groups as a positive approach to bullying. Our wooden caring coins are a reminder of a caring connection and the hope that comes with each caring connection.
