Everybody Gets To Eat "One Chance" program locates qualifying veterans to prep them for HVRP by housing them in hotels or Airbnb for rehabilitation. Our program aims to empower veterans to regain their independence and thrive in the workforce.

The Arts
It is rare for a child to be completely devoid of Creativity!
Creativity is an innate human trait, and it is rare for a child to be completely devoid of it. However, some children may exhibit less interest or engagement in creative activities than others. There can be various reasons why a child may appear to have limited creativity such as Lack of Exposure, Educational Environment, Fear of Failure or Judgment, and Limited Play and Free Time.
We promote children's creativity by providing materials and resources for artistic expression, such as art supplies, filming techniques, and acting classes. We are providing children with opportunities for exposure to different art forms, and cultural experiences.
Everybody Gets To Eat partnerships with artists, filmmakers, and actors will provide targeted community centers and schools with the talent for teaching children the fundamentals of building their creativity
