Our Story
A family mission that refused to stay small.
When AnnMarie DiPasquale's son Julius started preschool in 2022, she saw an opportunity — not just to give school supplies, but to teach her children what service and compassion look like in action.
What started as a family backpack drive became Growing Hands for Brighter Futures — an official 501(c)(3) dedicated to ensuring every York County child feels seen, supported, and equipped for success.
“Rooted in Love. Growing in Purpose. Giving with Heart.”
— AnnMarie DiPasquale, Founder
