We wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for their support of Kids for Kids over the past two months. Many of our programs held special Kids for Kids events throughout February and March and every one was a true success.  Our fun-filled center activities included several Valentine’s Day themed Friendship Balls, a fashion show featuring costumes made by the children, a carnival, children’s art shows using recycled materials, and book and bake sales.  As of today, we’ve raised $2475.84 towards our $16,000 goal for 2019.

Some centers are planning more events in the upcoming months as well.   At all of our centers, a Square 1 Art FUNraiser is currently underway. By now you should have all received your proof and complimentary stickers of your child’s artwork. All orders must be in by April 9th in order to have the items by Mother’s Day. 33% of the sales with benefit our friends in Kibera. Please see your center Director for any additional assistance in ordering.

Once again we want to thank you for your support. We are committed to sharing with you all the wonderful Kids for Kids activities that take place throughout the year. We hope your children feel the pride of earning many purple hearts and creating this wonderful bond across the world.


Veterans Yoga Project at VetsKids

VetsKids raised over $900 for the Veterans Yoga Project with a bake sale!!

Dear Yaelle,

Thank you for your donation of 965.00 on 12/14/2018.

It's moments like this, when community members come together to take action, that proves our power to create change. 

You are helping us in making a difference in the lives of the veterans and their families that we serve in supporting us offering over 100 free weekly yoga classes across the USA. 

Recently, one veteran shared his experience after participating in a Mindful Resilience yoga class. "I found many things that have helped me. However, these yoga classes for veterans have helped me more than anything else."

Your gift will be put to work immediately, making a real difference. Thank you!

With Blessings,

Deb Jeannette

Our Kids for Kids Bazaar was a great success! The children in every classroom worked so hard to create one of a kind pieces...paintings, calendars and bracelets.
