Do The Right Thing Toy Giveaway – 10 Years of Holiday Joy
What began as a small act of kindness has grown into a cherished annual tradition. Now in its 9th year, the Do The Right Thing Toy Giveaway has brought holiday cheer to over 2,000 students across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Our very first giveaway started with humble beginnings—gathering enough toys to bless just three Pre-K classrooms, along with providing school supplies to a first-grade class at East Iberville Elementary. In our second year, our impact grew, reaching over 200 students in Mansfield, Alexandria, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.
Thanks to the unwavering support of community partners, donors, and volunteers, this initiative has become more than just a toy drive—it's a celebration of compassion and community. Each year, your generosity makes the season brighter for students who might otherwise go without.
In 2025, we’re excited to celebrate our 10th Annual Toy Giveaway with even more heart and reach. We're planning stops in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and our beloved locations throughout Louisiana.
If you’d like to partner, donate, volunteer, or host a wrapping event for our 10th anniversary, we’d love to hear from you!

I Got The Hook Up Backpack Drive – Supporting Students, One Backpack at a Time
What started as a small back-to-school initiative has grown into a powerful community effort. The I Got The Hook Up Backpack Drive has now reached over 1,000 families—even during the height of the pandemic, we personally delivered backpacks filled with supplies across the Greater New Orleans area to ensure students were prepared and supported.
In our early days, we distributed just over 120 backpacks to students throughout Louisiana, from Lafayette to Baton Rouge, using social media, flyers, and word of mouth to identify families in need. Today, this drive has become a highly anticipated event that brings real impact to real families.
As we gear up for the 2025–2026 school year, we’re starting early—and we need your help! Whether it’s through donations, partnerships, or volunteering, your support helps us make sure every child starts school with the tools they need to succeed.

Inspiring the Next Generation Through College Exposure
At Click Four Help, we strive to inspire the youth in our communities every single day. From our humble beginnings, we've worked to open doors and expand horizons for students who deserve to see what's possible.
One of our most powerful initiatives is a college exposure program that brings high school students to the African American Cultural Center (AACC) on the campus of Louisiana State University. Our goal is to give students a first-hand look at what it's like to be a Black student at a predominantly white institution (PWI)—not just through campus tours, but through real connections and shared experiences.
We invite Black student organizations from universities like LSU, Southern University (SU), University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL), and others across the state to participate in a special program designed to highlight the diverse, empowering communities available to Black college students.
This program doesn't just stop at LSU—it can be replicated and curated at universities across the country, helping students everywhere envision their future and find belonging in higher education spaces.

In Living Color : Creative Arts Program

In Living Color – Creative Arts & Crafts Day
In Living Color is our signature creative arts program designed to expose youth to the power of art as a form of expression, healing, and connection. Launched in November 2017, this initiative was born out of a desire to reintroduce art into under-resourced and underperforming schools—spaces where creativity is too often overlooked.
Through partnerships with local artists, students get the unique opportunity to explore a variety of art forms—from painting and drawing to photography and digital media. Artists not only share their personal journeys, but also lead students in hands-on workshops where they learn new techniques and express themselves through their own creations.
We tailor each session based on age group and skill level, ensuring every student leaves with both new knowledge and a sense of pride in their work. To date, In Living Color has been hosted four times, each time creating vibrant, transformative experiences for youth who might not otherwise have access to arts education.
Whether you're a school, artist, or potential partner, we invite you to help us continue bringing color, creativity, and confidence to the next generation.
