How One Can Help

Many children grow up without the basic resources the rest of us take for granted.

Mission & Vision

One Can Help provides the missing resources at-risk youth, foster children and underserved families involved in the juvenile court and/or child welfare systems urgently need to address concerns, improve difficult lives and build better futures.
By quickly providing the individualized resources that meet the specific needs of children in crisis, we help overcome poverty barriers and encourage positive steps forward.

History

One Can Help (OCH) was created in 2006 by juvenile court attorneys and social workers who understood that poverty and justice were very much intertwined and wanted to ensure that this very vulnerable population (and the professionals trying to help them) could access the urgently needed basic items and services that were not available elsewhere.
