Answer 1

Have you spoke with other organizations in your area? Such as Department of Children and Family Services? Family Connection? VAC? Those places will be able to help you get started in the community and help with referrals. I would start off by trying to find a sponsor, someone willing to help with a fund raiser. Such as making a cookbook and selling it or making some type of product to sell for money. Here in our area we have a woman's quilting club, that donates small children's quilts and there handed out to the needy, and some are auctioned off for the funds.
