We Build Comfort Kits for Children In Need
Our Beginnings
The Johnstons owned a multi-family house in 2006. They noticed that one of the tenants, a single mother of three children, was struggling to make ends meet. The children were frequently home alone while their mother worked, and mom couldn’t afford to buy Christmas gifts. Heather filled a container with toys and clothes for each child that first Christmas. She then began donating to more children each holiday season. She quickly learned that there are children in serious need other times of year, so Kits for Kids expanded to provide help year round.
Our Mission
Kits for Kids began by helping children in need who were in foster care and medical facilities. We’ve grown from assembling three kits that first year to over 2,600 annually today! Our mission has expanded to include donating to organizations that serve teens and families in need.
