ANONYMOUS DONORS GENEROSITY HELPS THE KIDS

Thank you to the anonymous donor who made an extremely generous donation to our mission through the United Way of North Central MA. They requested that we purchase Organic Milk, Cheerios and clementines for the kare kits. The kids will definitely love the fresh fruit!!


We included the donated items in the two kare kits that each child received for school vacation week and will be able to provide them again in the next couple of weeks. We greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity. It is because of people like you that we can help so many children!!

THANK YOU TO THE LEOMINSTER WAMPANOAG PATHFINDERS CLUB

Thank you to Ruth & Ralph of the Leominster Wampanoag Pathfinders Club from the Leominster Seventh Day Adventist Church for bringing a group of their kids and adults to pack kare kits with us. We greatly appreciate the donation of food that you brought for our kare kits.

This is the second time that they have offered their support to our mission of helping the food insecure children in our community. It is because of kind and caring people like all of you that we are able to help so many children in our community! We greatly appreciate your continued support!!

UNITED WAY YOUTH VENTURE COMMUNITY EXPO

On March 9th, 2016 the United Way Youth Venture held their first Community Expo at The Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, MA..

Thirty Youth Venture Teams set up at the event to bring awareness to the great work that they are doing in the community. Each team works to make a difference in the community with various missions.

These youth lead teams shared their ideas and successes with the community.

I was honored to be part of the Steering Community for this wonderful event and am so proud of all my peers and their commitment to helping others in our community!! A special thanks to my team members Devin Grimley & Haylee Deforte for helping out at the event!

THANK YOU TO MADELINE FOR ONCE AGAIN GIVING UP HER BIRTHDAY FOR OUR KIDS

Many children look forward to the gifts that they receive for their birthdays but not Madeline. She recently celebrated her birthday and this is not the first time she has given up her birthday gifts and asked her friends and family to donate food for our kids in place our buying a gift for her. Madeline should be very proud of the fact that she once again choose to put others before herself!!


Madeline & her sister Evelyn have also organized food drives at their school for the past two years. We greatly appreciate Madeline's kindness and support of our mission to help the food insecure children.

THANK YOU TO ST MARY’S PARISH IN JEFFERSON MA

For the third year St Mary’s Parish chose Kylee’s Kare Kits for Kidz as one of the local organizations that they would support during their annual Day of Caring. They sent a group of high school students and adult leaders to help us pack kare kits and to make May Baskets that will be sold as a fundraiser for our mission. They made 100 baskets that they then took back to their parish to sell for us!! Each basket will be sold for a $5 donation which will provide a child with a kare kit for a weekend.


They also presented us with a check in the amount of $808.35 which they raised during their Souper Bowl event. We greatly appreciate the donation.


We would like to thank them for their continued support of our mission to feed the children in our community.A special thanks to Father Timothy Brewer and Kerry O'Grady!! It is because of kind and generous people like all of you that we are able to help so many children.

THANK YOU TO PENELOPE FOR CHOOSING OUR KIDS TO BENEFIT FROM HER KINDNESS

While most children anxiously await the gifts that they will receive for their birthdays Penelope decided to put others needs before her own. Penelope learned about the food insecure children in our community when Kylee went to speak to her pre-school in Groton last year. She remembered the children as her 5th birthday was approaching and decided that she wanted to ask her friends and family to purchase food for our kids instead of buying her a gift for her birthday.



Penelope and her Mom, Danielle, recently came to deliver the food she received and to pack kare kits with us. She greatly enjoyed helping to pack the kare kits and we hope that she will come back to join us again sometime. Penelope is learning at a very young age that it is better to give than to receive. Thank you Penelope for your kindness you should be very proud of yourself!!

ST ANNA’S SCHOOL IN LEOMINSTER SUPPORTS OUR MISSION

During the month of January the students and faculty at Anna’s School in Leominster collected food for our kare kits as part of their Make A Difference Campaign as part of Pope Francis’ proclamation of a Jubilee Year of Mercy.


We would like to thank second grade teacher, Katelyn Smith, for reaching out to us and leading this food drive and encouraging the students to participate in efforts that will feed the hungry.


On February 12th they invited Kylee to come to their school to speak with their students and faculty about her mission to help the children. We were amazed by the amount of food that they collected for our kids! This donation will allow us to provide many kare kits to the kids.


Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!! It is because of people like all of you that we can help the children!!
