Our programs: Spreading love, growing hope
Welcome to the heart of Addie's Sunflowers Play It Forward. Discover our programs, each thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are, offering them dignity, support, and the reminder that they truly matter. Join us in transforming lives through love and compassion.
Our core programs
Each of our initiatives was created to meet children exactly where they are and remind them they matter. They are rooted in love, dignity, and compassion, giving confidence, opportunity, and the reminder that someone believes in them.
Foster fresh start
Provides essentials and comfort items for children entering foster care, easing traumatic transitions and ensuring they feel seen and supported from day one.
Youth sports access
Removes financial barriers, offering gear and support so kids can participate in sports, build teamwork, and grow self-worth discreetly.
Ready to bloom
Offers school supplies, care packages, and community support, helping kids feel prepared, confident, and included in their education and community.
Why our programs matter
When you learn about our programs, we want you to feel hope. This is a foundation built from real love, real loss, and a real commitment to making sure children feel seen, supported, and valued. Addie’s Sunflowers Play It Forward isn’t just about programs — it’s about turning pain into purpose and kindness into action. We want visitors to feel inspired, connected, and confident that every act of support truly makes a difference. Most of all, we want them to feel that love still wins.
Who our programs are for
We want every child who feels overlooked, left out, or financially limited to know these programs are for them. For the child entering foster care with nothing of their own. For the kid who wants to play sports but doesn’t have the gear. For the student who needs a little extra encouragement to feel confident and prepared. These programs are also for families who may be struggling quietly and need support without judgment. We want them to feel hope, to know they are seen, valued, and worthy of opportunity — and that this community chooses love and stands behind them.
Choose love, then act on it
After learning about our programs, we hope you’ll be moved to take action. Whether that means donating, volunteering, sponsoring a child, purchasing merchandise that supports our mission, or simply sharing our message – we want you to be part of choosing love in action. Even one small step helps us continue providing support to children who need it most. Our goal is for visitors to leave not just inspired, but moved to make a difference.
