Breaking Barriers for Kids & Families

Mission: To support our community by providing families and students with supplemental food, clothing, and resources.

We were established 501(c)(3) in 2015 as a food pantry that services ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households in need by incorporating special need students with hands-on classroom opportunities through our food pantries. We started in the Livonia School District, and we continue to expand throughout Wayne and Oakland Counties.

We believe in empowering every individual. Our 7 food pantries proudly include the participation of Moderately Cognitively Impaired students, who play a crucial role in our operations. Through this involvement, these students gain invaluable skills and experiences, contributing significantly to our community.

We also help title one families gain educational opportunities in STEAM, Scholastic, Educational, and Workforce Development opportunities. We offer career education and skill-building opportunities through STEAM-based learning and job readiness programs. Importantly, we involve moderately cognitively impaired high school students in our food pantry operations.
