Kind to Kids helps our most vulnerable children

Through our LifeSkills education program, Give Joy event program and Help-A-Kid supply drives, we brighten the lives of children in foster care, poverty and teens at-risk.

.
Recently, toys brought happiness to a boy and his two year old brother who were found abandoned in a row home with no food and no electricity, and to a young girl who experienced abuse.

Please give today to help us bring joy to children in need!

As you can imagine, the holidays can be a time of tears and sadness for a child with no home of their own. For many of the children, toys and books from Kind to Kids were the only gifts they received. There are 800 children in Delaware’s foster care system. This is our 5th Annual Toy & Book Drive for foster children and we could not do it without your help!

The children are grieving and try to understand the drastic changes in their lives – taken from all that they know and placed in a new home with new people and new rules. To compound the situation, the vast majority of foster families are in poverty and money often goes to necessities such as rent and utilities with no funds left for holiday gifts.

Many thanks to Annie Coons,
Foster Care Holiday Drive Chair,
for her wonderful efforts to bring happiness
to Delaware’s children in foster care!

Barnes & Noble, Christiana Mall donated over 5,700 books to Kind to Kids for Delaware foster children! So wonderful to bring happiness with the priceless gift of reading. We are grateful for their support of our community’s most vulnerable children.

What We Do

Needy children dream about what it would be like to go to a baseball game, see a theater performance or get a toy during the holidays. We give them joyful experiences & educational programs to show them that someone cares and give them the skills they need in life. Kind to Kids makes dreams come true.

Kind to Kids gives children in need educational programs and wonderful experiences to expand their world and discover new possibilities.

Kind to Kids provides life skills education programs to at-risk teens and youth aging out of the foster care system, supplies to children entering foster care, and toys and books to foster children during the holidays. In Delaware, there are over 800 children in foster care and over 36,000 children in poverty.

Kind to Kids gives children a lasting memory of joy – a reminder that WE care.
Kind to Kids is a success story about how our community comes together to care for our neediest children.

Kind to Kids Handout

Kind to Kids gives children in need educational programs and wonderful experiences to expand their world and discover new possibilities. Imagine you are a child who has been beaten, abused and neglected and needs to be removed from your home – or that you are a child from a family so poor that you sometimes don’t have food to eat.

Kind to Kids is grateful for the outpouring of love from each of you – elected officials, corporations, businesses, schools, churches, organizations and individuals- that come together each year to help us bring happiness to our children in need.

You can bring joy to a child who is a victim of child abuse, neglect or poverty.

President & Founder Welcome & thank you for your interest in helping children in need!
