CHRISTMAS WITH THE TORRY'S

"The Next Step" Grants

The Love Zone is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that children in our underserved communities thrive, regardless of their family structure. We focus specifically on providing immediate financial support to families led by single parents or grandparents.

Our Mission and $10,000 Goal

Our core mission is to empower these children by removing financial barriers to growth and stability. Every dollar raised through this campaign goes toward "The "Next Step" Grant Program.

We are setting an ambitious goal to raise $10,000 to fund these grants throughout the year.

• What We Do: We provide small, immediate grants of up to $500 per child.
• The Impact: These grants directly help children take their "next step" by funding extracurricular activities, providing consistent weekend and after-school meals, and covering other essential needs that single-parent/grandparent households often struggle to afford.

Join Monte & Joni at this intimate holiday fundraiser to hear the vision behind The Love Zone firsthand. You'll learn exactly how these grants are changing lives right here in Newport News.
