Las Vegas nonprofit for children 0 to 17
Every child in Las Vegas deserves a brighter day.
Sarah's Spark connects neighbors, businesses and volunteers with children who need food, clothing, daily essentials, and the mentors and skills that open doors.
The point of it all
Bubbles, kites, soccer balls and big laughs
When a child's basic needs are covered, there is room to play, learn and dream.

Our mission
Neighbors showing up for children who are going without.
Too many children in our valley start the day without enough to eat, clothes that fit, or the basics of staying clean and healthy. Sarah's Spark exists to change that.
We partner with the community to collect goods and services on behalf of these children, then get them where they are needed. Alongside daily essentials, we offer training and skills development, so a hard day turns into a better outcome.
Community outreach
Collection drives, business partners and neighborhood volunteers keep supplies moving to the children who need them.
Mentorship
Trusted adults who show up consistently, listen, and help young people see what is possible.
Education outreach
Tutoring, school supplies and skills workshops that help children learn and keep learning.
How it works
From a neighbor's donation to a child's hands
Every gift follows the same simple path, so supporters can see where their help lands.
Collect
Community drives, business partners and online gifts bring in food, clothing, toiletries and supplies.
Sort
Volunteers sort and pack items by age group and need, so nothing sits unused.
Deliver
Packages reach children through schools, shelters, referral agencies and family partners.
Grow
Mentors and skills workshops keep supporting children long after the first box arrives.

Why stability matters
Steady footing today shapes a child's tomorrow
Reliable food, supplies and a caring adult help children show up ready to learn. Here is what the research and the numbers say.
17.6%of children in Clark County lived below the poverty line, 2020–2024.U.S. Census Bureau ACS, via USAFacts
46%of families with a child age 3 or under struggle to afford enough diapers.National Diaper Bank Network, 2024 Diaper Check

Studies also link food insecurity at kindergarten to weaker reading and math scores. These figures show association, not a guarantee for any one child. Confirm each number and its latest edition before launch.
