ONE OF THE KARE KITS FAMILIES NEEDS OUR HELP!!
We have some very exciting news to share. One of our kare kits families that has spent the past 19 months in one of the hotels in Leominster has gotten an apartment!! We have come to know the family quite well over the past year and a half and are so excited for them!! Unfortunately due to their circumstances they do not have anything to bring with them to their new apartment. :( We are reaching out to see if our community can pull together and see what we can do to help. So we are asking that if any of you have any household furnishings that you don't need and if you would be willing to help them out to please reach out to us. They need everything: glasses, dishes, kitchen utensils, pots & pans, bath towels, hand towels, face cloths, kitchen towels, silverware, mugs, bowls, colander, blankets, comforters, sheets (don't know what sizes yet as they do not have any beds yet), curtains, lamps, furniture: kitchen, living room and bedroom. They are a family of 7 and have 5 children: a son in kindergarten, two daughters in elementary school and two daughters in middle school. They do not have any furniture at all so they will graciously accept any donations. Please look in your basements and attics and see if there is anything that you could donate to this family. I will do my best to keep an updated list on facebook as to what donations we have received and what is still needed. They hopefully will be moving into their home on March 1st and we would love to be able to help them furnish their home! Thank you so much for considering helping one of our families!!

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THE KIDZ! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
With the start of the new school year we are, once again, in need of your support. Last school year and throughout the summer we provided kare kits to 50 elementary school children in Leominster. We currently are providing kare kits to 70 children with more to come as the guidance counselors determine who is in need. We appreciate all the support during our first year but with the start of a new year we are in great need of donations to help provide the kare kits again this school year. If you are able to make a donation we would greatly appreciate it. Every dollar counts so please help us!! Below is information on ways that you could help us this year. Not only do we need monetary donations but we can use help with packing the kare kits, delivering the kare kits, shopping, fundraising, food donations.... Please reach out to us at kyleeskarekitsforkidz1@gmail.com if you can help in any way. Thank you!
KYLEE’S KARE KITS FOR KIDZ, INC
68 Main Street #564 Leominster, Ma 01453-0564
September 08, 2013
My name is Kylee McCumber. I am a sixth grade student in the Leominster Public School system. I am asking for your help with a Non-Profit Community Service Project that I started in September of 2012. In the spring of 2012, at the age of ten, I became aware of the fact that there were many children in my school that were less fortunate than me. One in seven children is food insecure meaning they do not have the security of knowing where their next meal will come from. Many children depend on the breakfast and lunch provided at school for the food they will receive. I began to wonder what they do when they go home on the weekends and may not have enough food.
After a discussion with my grandmother, Lori Bateman, and our school principal we decided that we would start the program Kylee’s Kare Kits for Kidz. Our mission is to provide individual Kare Kits with nonperishable, nutritious food items to as many children as possible on a weekly basis. With the help of my grandmother and my team of friends and volunteers we prepare the Kare Kits. Every Friday during the school year we distribute these kits to children in need, in our community, so they will have food for the weekend. We were able to continue this throughout the summer as well! We currently provide kare kits to over seventy elementary school aged children every Friday! At this time we cannot help everyone in need because we do not have enough funds and that is why we need your help!!
We estimate the cost per child, for the school year, to be $100. We provide juice boxes, cereal, applesauce, fruit cups, pudding, crackers, granola bars, raisins, fruit snacks, macaroni and cheese, chicken noodle soup, Beef ravioli…. in these kare kits. This would not be possible without the help from our community. We are looking for individuals and organizations willing to sponsor a child for the school year. If you are unable to sponsor a child any donation would be greatly appreciated. Every dollar counts! It is important that you understand that 100% of your donation will go to purchase food for a child. We will continue to grow one kare kit at a time as the funds become available. Please help us by sharing this information with your friends and family.
There are so many children in need of help. They realize that their situations are different from many of the children they attend school with. They will not know who we are yet they will know someone cares! We may never know how much this program means to the children.
If you are able to make a donation please make checks payable to Kylee’s Kare Kits for Kidz and mail to:
Kylee’s Kare Kits for Kidz C/O Kylee McCumber 68 Main Street #564 Leominster, MA 01453-0564.

I have some very exciting news to
share with all of you! I would like to announce that today I found out that
Kylee’s Kare Kits for Kidz was the grand prize winner in the United Way’s
Community Builders Star Project Competition!!
First I would like to thank Karen
Oliveira, Leidy Restrepo and the staff at the United Way and Community
Builders for offering me the opportunity to enter this contest. They have
been so helpful and supportive and I appreciate it very much!
I would like to thank the entire Leominster
Public School System, all the city employees and school children as well as
the many businesses and people in our community who helped us to win the
grand prize! You were all so amazing when I reached out for your support.
I want to thank everyone who voted!
The fact that so many of you voted for our star project is the reason that we
won. This was a community effort not just an effort of the Kare Kits Team.
Thank you so much for supporting us!
Lastly I want to thank the kare kits
team- Brenda Menjivar, Emily Brown, Olivia Gallo, Ava and Chloe D’Eon, Mia
Losey and Katerina Zahariadis, our families and friends for your support as
well. Without all of you we wouldn’t be where we are today being able to help
so many children.
The grand prize of $1000 will provide
kare kits to ten children next school year, as it is estimated to cost $100
per school year for each child to receive a kare kit every weekend. This is a
great start for us for next year. This year we provided kare kits to 50
children. We are hoping to be able to provide them to more children next year
and with your support we are on our way to being able to do that!
Thank you all for helping me to help
the children!!
With
appreciation,
Kylee

coupons that you don't use for the products we use. We also use manufacturer
coupons as well. BJ's will allow us to use both the manufacturers coupon as
well as their own BJ's coupon which means we save even more money. Some of
the products we use are: Chef Boy R dee products, Campbells Chicken Noodle
Soup, Ramen Noodles, Macaroni & Cheese, granola bars, Rice Krispie bars,
Oatmeal, juice boxes, fruit cups, pudding cups, applesauce cups, peanut

Happy New Year!
I'm so happy that our community,
my friends and family have done so much to help me to help the kidz
in this program. Thank you to everyone who has helped us in any way thus
far. Please see our Thank You All tab to view everyone who has helped
us.
If you would like to reach out to
me you can find the contact information under the "Contact Us"
tab. Feel free to read the Kare Kits story if you would like to know
more about how I started Kylee's Kare Kits for Kidz!!!!!!!! If anyone
would like to help pack the Kare Kits you can email me and I will
respond and hopefully you will be able to help us pack!!!!! :) Hope
to hear from some new people soon!!!
We constantly have new children
that could benefit from the kare kits. As much as we would love to help everyone
we need the funds and food to do that. We welcome any donations both
monetary and of food to help us to be able to increase the number of children
we help. We have just increased to 44 children but have more needing our
help!
Thanks,
Kylee

"It is better to give than to receive!"
Rosalyn Carter who is
President Jimmy Carters wife said:
"I believe that
one of the most important things to learn in life is that you can make a
difference in your community no matter who you are or where you live. I have
seen so many good deeds - people helped, lives improved - because someone
cared."
