​Fighting child hunger with a sticker and a birthday

Aly, an elementary school student in the Lake Washington School District, was inspired by friends who had birthday parties where they asked for toys to donate to kids in need rather than gifts for themselves.

She began her philanthropic journey at her 8th birthday party where she hosted a diaper drive for Eastside Baby Corner. She did it again for her 9th birthday party and then became curious of other ways to help kids her age.

She discovered Pantry Packs, a local program that feeds children experiencing food-insecurity to cover weekend and school break meals. Not only was it a program that helped kids, it helped kids right at her school. It became the perfect fit.

​By the time her 10th birthday came around, she wanted to add a creative touch to her fundraising efforts so she designed her very own “Stop Hunger” sticker that was offered to friends and family in exchange for a donation through a Facebook fundraiser. She was excited to see that her efforts
raised $685 to feed students right in her community!

​Her kindhearted efforts didn’t stop there as she is active in several school activities including Student Council and has participated in Jump Rope for Heart and Pennies for Patients for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You go, girl!


​Thank you, Aly
for making a difference in all the ways that you do for our community. May your story inspire others to give back, just like you!
