For The Kids Org

For The Kids is about helping children in our community. We deliver bags of bulk food to inner city schools, the parents pick up the bags on a Friday so that the kids have enough food on the weekends. They come back to school with full stomachs, ready to learn and start the week off right. It is important for these children to know that others think and care about them. We can't solve all their problems but the food we provide helps with their immediate needs. The mentoring and development programs we have through reading and softball provides opportunities for a better future. It takes many hands to make this happen. We need help from generous people. Every month approximately 19,000 items leave our shelves, which provides weekend food for the month: 8 Breakfast items, 8 Lunch items, 8 Snack items and 8 dinner items per child. For The Kids currently provides food for over 600 children every week as well as 1,100 Winter Break Meal Kits, 1,000 Spring Break Meal Kits, 1,900 Full Thanksgiving Meals and Sub For Santa for over 300 children! Schools currently served: Liberty Elementary, Backman Elementary, Meadowlark Elementary, Mary W. Jackson Elementary, Robert Frost Elementary, Clayton Middle School
