We are an organization dedicated to helping parents who are returning to school to finish their high school education. We provide free childcare for their children while they attend evening classes, so children do not have to attend class with their parents.

Our childcare is staffed by a professional, degreed pre-school teacher five nights a week. Additionally, a team of Volunteers supports the teacher and provides a nutritious meal every evening during the school year.

The school operates Monday through Friday evenings. Volunteers arrive at 6 PM and stay until about 8 PM...

A routine medical consultation may be manageable. A hospitalization, surgery, or major emergency can quickly become an expense of thousands of dollars.

That is why good health insurance is not simply about “having a policy.” It is about being able to access private clinics, medical specialists, emergency care, hospitalization, prescription medications, ambulance services, and other medical benefits when you truly need them.

At BlueBox, we work with health plans designed for different ages, needs, and budgets. Our clients can access private medical networks and receive care for both everyday medical needs and more complex health situations...
