We worked with the team at GoFundMe to set up an identical but new fundraiser page because the original one was attracting some fake donations. Your donations are all safe, and this new page makes us all even safer!

Hi, my name is Ayaan, a sophomore at Bellarmine College Prep.

Hi, my name is Josh, a junior at Bellarmine College Prep.

We have known each other since we were in pre-school, and we have always had a passion to help the underprivileged. We live comfortable, safe lives with food on our plates and a roof over our heads. But many are not so lucky.

So, we started the BLBI, Lunch Bag Initiative, a high school club dedicated to helping out our community with meals for those who don't have food.

What do we do?

We make sandwiches for the homeless in downtown San Jose. We contribute to several charities every week, helping shelters, and temporary homes, that house the homeless, recovering drug addicts, low-income families, transitional shelter families, and mentally disabled people. Every week at our school, we make 100 meals to be delivered to shelters and churches in downtown San Jose.

Where does the money go?

This is a fundraiser for supplies and food for a small grassroots organization called BLBI, or the Bellarmine Lunch Bag Initiative that we run. The money will be going to fund meals. Supplies to make the meals include bread, jelly, peanut butter, granola bars, fruits, bags, and sanitary supplies. As well as this, we can sponsor holiday meals with local organizations and provide clothing and toiletries. With your contribution, we can make our community better, and fill hungry stomachs in the Bay Area.

Even a small donation of $5.00 makes 1 meal!

So donate today!

Thank you so much for your support!
