Serving Our Kids Foundation

Thank you DeAndre Esteen and Barclays for bringing your team to Serving Our Kids Foundation to build weekend meal bags to be given out to the food insecure children in the valley! You make an amazing impact in our community and we are lucky you picked SOK!

??Sponsor Highlight?? Thank you Bay Law Injury Attorneys for being this year’s Presenting Sponsor of the 17th Annual Serving Our Kids Bowl-A-Thon. Bay Law Injury Attorneys partnership, for one of our largest annual fundraisers, allows us to continue providing thousands of weekend meal bags to students each week!

Thank you BOMA Nevada! The mission of the Building Owners and Managers Association is to enhance the human, intellectual, and physical assets of the commercial real estate industry through advocacy, education, research standards, and information. They selected Serving Our Kids Foundation as the non-profit to support this year. Their goal is to raise $7,000 or 20 totes of food. They have already reached 3 of the 20 and they donated much needed totes we use for deliveries! Thank you Vanessa Werne, Bonnie Keller, and Teri Stuart!

We feel the Dutch Luv!!!! Thank you Issac Schaaf & Mark Bavaro with Dutch Bros Coffee in Las Vegas & Henderson. Their combined 8 locations raised $18,307.60 during the February 14th Dutch Luv Giveback day. Many of our team and volunteers visited the locations that day to support their efforts and saw their team members hyping up Serving Our Kids Foundation with customers and they crushed it for the kids in our community! Thank you to all of the Dutch family that worked together to support our mission!

Thank you, Clark County School District, for inviting us to be a part of the Guest Principal for a Day Program! Laurie Tanakaya (SOK CEO) and David Archer (SOK Executive Director) had the privilege of shadowing Principal Jodi Notch at Cozine Elementary. Cozine is one of the schools we support with weekend meal bags. We saw firsthand the challenges schools face, from funding and absenteeism. What stood out was the dedication of staff like Mrs. Wesley, Miss Vegas, and Mr. Pereira who make the meal bag program possible. Big shoutout to Principal Jodi and her amazing team for everything they do for our community’s children! #CommunitySupport #Education #SOKMeals #communitypartner #foodinsecurity
