Back to School Backpacks
On August 7, 2021, Mothers In Action held its 23rd Annual Back to School Health Fair.

Financial Literacy Webinars
In the Spring of 2021, Little Light International hosted a 3 part financial webinar series with Associate Attorney, Gershom Benitez. Mr. Benitez shared about financial literacy & freedom, credit, financial planning for college, and how to take steps to invest as a student.
Classroom Supplies for Hope Gardens
In February 2021, we partnered with Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens to provide their students with distance learning supplies. Through a successful GoFundMe campaign, we raised funds to provide Hope Garden’s students, 70 headphones and 140 accessories (chargers and cables).

Inspiring Teenage Girls Through Photography
100% of proceeds from our Online Auction (9/28/29-10/04/19) went to Las Fotos Project. Las Fotos Project’s mission is to elevate the voices of teenage girls from communities of color. Through the lens of photography, students capture moments that inspire them and others to critically examine the world around them and to become agents of change; channeling their creativity for the benefit of themselves, their community, and future careers.
JOHN MUIR MIDDLE SCHOOL BOOK DONATION
Thanks to everyone who came out to our first fundraiser, we were able to partner up with Pepperdine PDSA and send over 50 books to John Muir Middle School. Little Light’s mission is to increase access to education and resources for all students. We look forward to bringing more opportunities to get involved and be a light in your community, both locally and beyond.
