The FILL-A-BACKPACK CAMPAIGN is Kids 4 Kids' primary initiative, where volunteers fill thousands of backpacks with school supplies during the summer. These backpacks are then distributed to children in migrant camps and shelters on the first Saturday of August. The experience teaches volunteers about the ongoing challenges many children face, including homelessness, abuse, and illness.
Elementary school students learned about kindness through a year-long "Kindness 101" curriculum. They raised $769.55 by making and selling rubber band bracelets and collecting donated items. The funds were used to purchase gift cards for foster children at the Haven For Children, as well as to provide a homeless man with $30 in gift cards. The remaining money will be used to provide meals and snacks for the children at the Haven For Children.
Kindness Matters Bracelet campaign is to raise funds to provide field trips for foster kids by selling kindness bracelets. The bracelets are $2 each and 100% of the sales go to benefit foster care agencies. The goal is to create memories that will last a lifetime by sending foster kids to museums, plays, movies, aquariums, bowling, sporting events & theme parks.
Kids 4 Kids Book Recycling and Distribution program encourages kids and members of the community to donate used and new books for children who could not afford books of their own. Kids 4 Kids has collectd and distributed thousands of books over the years.
Kids 4 Kids also raises money to assist families whose children have been diagnosed with illnesses. 100% of all donations earmarked for children battling illnesses are given to families during this difficult time. Funds are given to families to assist with medical bills and loss of income when families have to miss work to take care of a sick child.
After Hurricane Dorian, Kids 4 Kids in collaboration with families from Kids For Kids Academy, Miami Dade County Schools, Neighbors 4 Neighbors, South Florida Roofers, and Catering the Event we helped families in Grand Bahama. Our Community raised money and also donated 9 containers filled with school furniture, whiteboards, roofing materials, and boxes of food for families during their time of crisis.
Kids 4 Kids organizes activities throughout the year to engage children in helping others. During Valentine's Day and Halloween, they create treat bags and cards for children in shelters, hospitals, and those experiencing homelessness. They also collect gift cards for Thanksgiving and the December holidays to provide support to families in need.
