Merry Christmas To All !

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."

Blessing in a Backpack

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization under Blessings in a backpack.

Blessings in a Backpack partners with America to ensure impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.

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 Star Projects Competition

Today is the day!  Karing 4 Kidz Star Project is to build 45 kidpacks. These kidpacks will provide food for the kids in the upcoming weeks. I need your vote! I will post the link on April 25.

United Way

My Dad and I met with the nice people at the United Way of North Central Massachusetts. We talked about what I'm doing and the community builder's star projects competition that I will be entering. More info to come.  Also they donated  carry home bags for the kids which we were in need of.  THANK YOU!

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.
