Kids Need Your Help

The cold winter months are fast-approaching and kids need your help to stay warm and feel safe. Also, as the days grow shorter, options for ‘outdoor play’ become more difficult, so having engaging toys to play with that are brand new are something that every child deserves.

Can you help?

It’s so easy to help a child and be the magic for them this season. There are a variety of ways that you, your business or your organization can help:

Host a Collection Drive, Giving Tree or Beneficiary Event:

Host a collection drive of items that kids need most this time of year, everything from warm coats, mittens, boots and new toys. We have a list of collection drives that collect items that kids need most, right now. Learn more and choose your collection drive here.

Host a Giving Tree – You can host a Giving Tree at your place of business or community of faith. Giving Trees can include gift tags of items that kids need most this time of year and we are happy to supply you with Giving Tree tags for your Giving Tree.

Host a Beneficiary Event – Hosting a beneficiary event is a great way to show your support for kids. You could host a holiday party or event and suggest that guests bring donations of basic needs for kids with them to the party / event.

Make a Financial Gift:

Making a financial gift makes a huge impact and allows KidVantage to purchase items that kids need. You can make a financial gift by clicking here.
