Co-Directors Lucas + Sophia

What began as one child’s dream to help others has grown into a movement of creativity and compassion. Meet Lucas and Sophia, the heart behind Peace Kids to the Rescue.

When Lucas was six-years-old, during breakfast, he said: “Mom, I want to have an art show for children to raise money for people who don’t have as much as I do.”

Lucas said the idea for the show came from his experience of driving around in his mom’s car, which they labeled the “Kindness Car”, giving out “Kindness Bags” to the homeless that included necessities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, and money.

Lucas and Sophia continue to bring joy to the Lancaster community through their signature art show, workshops, and other community events. Lucas is a driving force, inspiring other youth to action through kindness.
