Support Us

Merry Christmas from your friends at Kids Matter!

May your days be filled with peace, hope, and joy this holiday season. As the year comes to an end, we want to thank you for your support! This year we provided necessities to over 1,500 underprivileged children in our community.

Every $100 that we raised this year provided an estimated $250 in new clothing for an economically disadvantaged child through our Around the Block Program! With the right support, we can provide all children with the necessities and the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through the support of hundreds of volunteers, corporate partners, and individuals like you, we have clothed, fed, educated, and enhanced the lives of thousands of children and their families throughout the United States.

Since our inception in 2006:

19,725 children have been clothed
172,000+ books for kids
31,850+ backpacks have been provided
19,000 school shoes have been donated

We wouldn’t be able to do this without the support of our donors, volunteers, and sponsors!

We wish you a happy holiday surrounded by loved ones!
