Wishing you all the joys of the holiday season.

We were asked to help 13 new kids this week, how can we say NO MORE! If you would like to give a true gift from the heart and help feed a child every weekend for the remainder of the school year the cost is $66.00. Thank You.

 

 May Love and Happiness Be Yours Throughout the New Year,

The Karing 4 Kidz Team.

 

  

November 27th A Global Day Of Giving

           Please help us meet our goal and continue to provide hunger free weekends!
This is the perfect time of year to give thanks for our family and loved ones and what better way to show our gratitude then providing hunger-free weekends to a child in our own community who might otherwise go hungry.

WHO WE ARE

Blessings In a Backpack is a neighbor-helping-neighbor program that is
designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children each week.
Volunteers in cooperation with school officials distribute backpacks
filled with enough non-perishable food for the weekend to students,
the goal of the Blessings in a Backpack program is to keep these students
from going hungry on the weekends and remove barriers to academic success.
Our program Karing 4 Kidz is proud to be a chapter of Blessings in a Backpack.
