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 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.
