Dream & Hope In Action

  • Rent Subsidization

    Understanding the economic difficulties experienced by many families associated with Give Chances, we took proactive measures to alleviate some of the financial strain. This initiative resulted in the subsidization of one month's rent for each family, providing essential support. Each family received $500, aimed at lessening their financial burdens and fostering stability in challenging times.

  • Food Assistance

    In dedication to the well-being of our students and their families, Give Chances consistently provides weekly food donations. This ongoing effort aims to address essential nutritional needs and offer support beyond specific circumstances, ensuring a sustained impact on our community.

  • Scholarship Fund

    To diminish financial barriers for students from low-income families and foster success among both students and volunteers, we proudly extend academic scholarships. These scholarships go beyond covering tuition expenses, encompassing a diverse array of student needs. Our commitment is to create an inclusive and supportive educational environment where every student can thrive, unburdened by financial constraints.

Eligibility

To apply for assistance via our Dream & Hope program, candidates must meet the following qualifications:
