Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Most of the children we serve live at or below the poverty line, as determined by our partner agencies. According to the 2019 American Community Survey for Montgomery County, Ohio, there are 26,332 children living in poverty, including 13,239 children in the city of Dayton alone. In the city of Dayton, 42% of children are impoverished. HTC continues to combat poverty and its associated risks in the Greater Dayton community by providing basic items to children in need, allowing their caregivers the ability to redirect limited resources to essential living expenses. This will alleviate families' poverty-associated risks, such as housing, transportation, and food insecurity, and provide the stability necessary to move forward and successfully thrive.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Giving Angels

During November and early December, Hannah’s Treasure Chest is proud to host our annual Giving Angels program which helps local families at or below the poverty level. With the help of local donors and organizations, Hannah’s Treasure Chest provides holiday gifts for children and families in need.

Each child enrolled through our partner agencies receives two wish-list items, such as toys, and two needed items, such as clothing or shoes, as well as stocking stuffers.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Families

Many of the families who receive care packages from us are unable to provide a safe bed for their infants and toddlers to sleep in. A family in crisis is usually working desperately to feed, clothe, shelter, and educate their children.

Our Beds for Babies program provides a safe crib, toddler bed, mattress, and linens for infants and toddlers through age 3.

Population(s) Served
Infants and toddlers

Dental health has a great effect on the overall health and well-being of children. Poor dental health can even impact the academic performance of children. The goal of our Brighter Smiles program is to provide an age-appropriate dental kit in every care package prepared for children 1 years and older.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

The creation of care packages to meet the basic needs of children served by our partners. Items include 5-7 days of outfits, socks & underwear, shoes, books, age-appropriate dental kit, games, toys, safety equipment,(ie. high chair or car seat), and hygiene products.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

HTC provides essentials like clothing, diapers, shoes, safety equipment (i.e. cribs, high chairs), and hygiene products to children in need, allowing their caregivers the ability to redirect limited resources to essential living expenses such as electricity and gas. HTC seeks to instill dignity in every child referred to us. We fulfill each care package individually, choosing items that appeal the child's stated preferences. Our goal in our new home is to expand our programming to serve more children through increased partnerships.

1) Maintain a strong network of nonprofit and social service agencies who are providing direct service to children and families in need of essentials.

2) Provide a strong communication link between all partners in the network to encourage collaboration and resource sharing, not only for all agencies involved but also for the children and families being served.

3) Increase partnerships by adding partners incrementally throughout the year.

4) Retain a strong staff at HTC to provide solid programming and quality volunteer opportunities.

5) Serve as a donation outlet for the community.

1) A strong staff and volunteer team that is trained in areas of expertise.

2) Large warehouse space to sort, shelf, and store items for distribution. *ACCOMPLISHED IN 2024

3) Strong, diverse, Board of Directors that understands their duties of governance and fiscal oversight.

4) Supportive and conscientious community donors who supply our organization with high-quality items.
