Karing 4 Kidz
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.

Since 2011, Karing 4 Kidz has been distributing what they call “kidpacks”, food in a backpack, to children who face the problem of having proper meals over the weekends and the holidays. These kidpacks contain healthy non-perishable food to make sure that they do not go hungry.
Despite the meals that our schools already provide, we cannot guarantee that some children from financially unstable families have access to proper meals after they leave school. I am keenly aware of the detriments of food insecurity to young children’s school performance and growth. I am proud to be able to help by securing $20,000 in the FY2020 budget to help Karing 4 Kidz. This funding would not only help them in achieving their goal and feed more children but also inspire other communities to take initiative and dedication to contribute and serve their residents.
During the pandemic, Karing 4 Kidz continues to provide care packs for the children. For more information, visit, http://karing4kidz.blogspot.com.
Congratulations and thank you, Karing 4 Kidz, for your amazing work and helping our community. #CommunityFirst
