As the Holiday's are among us, it is time to remind myself that without all the help given to me from so many kind hearted people, I could not do this.
As Mother Teresa said, "I can do things you cannot you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."

My name is Kira Andreucci. For my 11th birthday I asked for money to start Karing 4 Kidz, a project to help less fortunate children with kidpacks containing nonperishable, nutritious food items for the weekend. I made kidpacks for 10 kids to take home on Fridays and delivered them each week with the help of my parents. This is my ninth year with 6 Fitchburg schools and 10 volunteers helping 272 children! I'm a chapter of Blessings in a Backpack a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

The start of Karing 4 Kidz
It makes me sad that so many people don’t have enough money to buy their kids any foodL. Did you know that the statistics, according to elementaryschool.org, state that over 50% of the children in Fitchburg public elementary schools receive free or reduced lunch? I wonder if those kids think about their hunger instead of their education.
Fitchburg Pubic Elementary Schools
· Crocker Elementary has 61%
· McKay Campus has 59%
· South Street has 63%
The good part is I can make more kidpacks and help more kids. J You can too! Contact us to learn how to help karing 4 kidz support Fitchburg children. We can talk about a food drive or a fundraiser to help buy healthy foods for 50 children each weekend this coming school year.

The Kids
The kids are selected by school leadership and based on need. I was told how excited they get on Friday when they take home their kidpacks for the weekend. The kids that we help know their situations are not like a lot of kids they attend school with. They also know someone cares! They may not know who we are, but they know we care. We will continue to grow one kidpack at a time. This would not be possible without the help from our community. THANK YOU for helping me help others, Kira.
