QuanTâm is a 501c3 nonprofit (EIN: 85-1585782) dedicated to helping one of the most vulnerable populations in society—low-income children feel valued and develop the confidence to take up space. We work with local businesses to provide daily essentials (e.g., clothing, shoes, socks, food, toiletries) to children who desperately need some extra care.
We’re grateful for our partners’ generosity and compassion towards others
