The campaign began with Diazo’s pledge to match your donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000, and double their impact. But so many of our SOK Crusaders responded that Diazo increased their matching pledge to $15,000, with a new goal of raising $30,000 to help feed food-insecure elementary and middle school children in Clark County.

“We didn’t want to simply write a check,” said Laura Long, Diazo’s Founder and CEO.
“We wanted to create momentum and make an immediate, measurable impact on the children who need it most.”

Thanks to you, we received $16,653 in donations during the campaign. Diazo’s matching contribution brought the grand total to $33,306. That’s an incredible result. But what does this mean for the children SOK serves?

For The Children We Serve

Diazo provides comprehensive investment, retirement and multi-generational wealth planning services. And they’re committed to strengthening the Southern Nevada community through purposeful leadership, philanthropy and strategic partnership.

Diazo has been a long-time SOK supporter. They have provided invaluable financial donations, donated furniture for our offices, and sponsored key fundraising events. Their team volunteers to create weekend meal bags and deliver them to our local schools.

“Serving Our Kids is deeply grateful to the Diazo team for everything they do to help us fight child hunger in our community,” said SOK CEO Laurie Tanakaya. “Their generosity and commitment gives me great confidence that we will eventually win this fight.”

On behalf of our dedicated volunteers and staff, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your commitment, your trust and your incredible generosity. Your gifts will empower thousands of food-insecure children to dream of a brighter future with unlimited possibilities. A future without fear. A future without hunger.

If you do the math, these contributions total $204,406. This will help SOK provide more than 75,703 weekend meal bags for thousands of hungry kids during the school year.

SOK CEO Laurie Tanakaya accepted the award at the HCC Leadership & Legacy Awards luncheon on April 10th. She expressed her thanks and appreciation to the HCC, all of the event sponsors, and Diazo Wealth for the award and recognition. But she gave all of the credit for this honor to SOK’s army of volunteer crusaders.

“Serving Our Kids could not feed one food-insecure child without the hard work and selfless dedication of our volunteers,” she said. “They are concerned, compassionate, people from our community who choose to devote their time and energy to help feed thousands of hungry kids every week. Our volunteers are the reason SOK can fight and win the battle against child hunger. And we can never thank them enough.”

3 Easy Ways to Support Serving Our Kids in 2026

As we begin a new year, Serving Our Kids Foundation is preparing to feed even more food-insecure elementary and middle school children across the Las Vegas Valley. You can make a real difference in 2026 through three simple actions:

1. Donate: Become a Monthly Supporter

Recurring gifts help us plan ahead and ensure consistent support for the children we serve.

• Give $99 per month and you will provide 35 weekend meal bags every month during the school year.
• Monthly donations of any amount help us purchase kid-friendly, reliable food items that children count on each weekend.

Your ongoing support turns hunger into hope for students who might otherwise go without.

2. Volunteer: Share Your Time and Talent

Volunteers are at the heart of our mission. There are many ways to get involved:

• Pack weekend meal bags at our warehouse
• Deliver meal bags to partner schools
• Serve as a volunteer supervisor to help lead teams
• Assist as an event volunteer at fundraisers and community activities

Whether you can help weekly, monthly, or for special events, your time directly impacts local children.

3. Amazon Wish List: Support Our Operations

To help keep operating costs low, Serving Our Kids maintains an Amazon Wish List of supplies needed to keep our organization running smoothly.

It’s simple: click, add to cart, and ship directly to Serving Our Kids.
This “easy peasy” option allows you to support our work from home while ensuring we have the tools and supplies needed to serve thousands of children.

Together, these three simple steps—donate, volunteer, and give through our Amazon Wish List—will help us start 2026 strong and move closer to a future without hunger and without limits for the children we serve.
