What they do
AS WE BEGAN WORKING WITH STUDENTS FROM OGDEN, KS IN 2010 WE STARTED to SEE THAT POVERTY IN OUR COMMUNITY is LARGELY GENERATIONAL. WE WATCHED STUDENTS WE WORKED WITH, WHO GREW UP IN LOW INCOME HOMES, BECOME ADULTS IN LOW INCOME SITUATIONS, and EVENTUALLY RAISE THEIR OWN KIDS IN LOW INCOME HOMES. IN 2017 WE OPENED THE HOUSE CAFE INC. to TRY and INTERVENE IN THE GENERATIONAL POVERTY CYCLE. THROUGH THE SELLING of FOOD and DRINK ITEMS IN A LOCALLY OPERATED COFFEE SHOP. PROFITS, AS WELL AS GRANTS and DONATIONS ARE USED to FUND CHILDREN, YOUTH, and COMMUNITY FOCUSED ENDEAVORS THAT EQUIP and EMPOWER OGDEN CHILDREN and YOUTH WITH RESOURCES, ABILITIES, and EDUCATION to ESCAPE A GENERATIONAL CYCLE of POVERTY. THESE ENDEAVORS CONFRONT, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, CONTRIBUTING FACTORS to POVERTY SUCH AS DRUG ABUSE, HIGH CRIME RATES, LACK of RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, UNEMPLOYMENT, and A LACK of EDUCATION or EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, and OTHER FACTORS WHICH CONTRIBUTE to THE CONTINUATION of THE POVERTY CYCLE.

Money made simple

- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
