KYLEE’S KARE KITS FOR KIDZ 10TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY MISSION

With the holidays quickly approaching we have begun our tenth annual holiday mission to provide holiday gifts to our kidz! If a family is struggling with providing food for their family they certainly will struggle with gifts for the holidays. We would like to do what we can to make the holidays a bit brighter for the children. We need your help to provide gifts to the children. The children range in ages from infant through high school.

If you would like to be a part of this wonderful annual event please reach out to us through Facebook, to our email at kyleeskarekitsforkidz1@gmail.com or visit one of 7 local businesses or locations that have Holiday Giving collection boxes or trees with tags for some of our kids.

We currently have tags for our children spread throughout the city to be chosen to be sponsored for the holidays. We would like to thank the following businesses for their support and for putting up trees with our children's tags. They are:

About Face Salon & Day Spa 285 Central Street Leominster

Crossfit EXP 100 Crawford Street Leominster

Dr. Timothy Gallagher 54 Williams Street Leominster

Manestream Day Spa 10 Prospect Street Leominster

The Claw Shop 1123 Central Street Leominster

The following locations have boxes to collect toys, books, hats, mittens & gloves, sweatshirts, pajamas and socks:

Please stop by and take a tag or feel free to drop off individual toys or clothing that we would then be able to give to a child in need. We can use hats, mittens, gloves, pajamas, sweatshirts, socks, books, toys, movie passes to the theatres in Leominster or Fitchburg, Mason Bowling Alley gift cards, Game Stop gift cards or any other items you may like to donate. If you don’t have time to shop but would like to help with this mission feel free to send a monetary donation to our mailing address listed below and let us know that you would like it used for the holiday mission and we will shop for you!!Please help make the holidays a little brighter for children in need. Remember these are ALL LOCAL CHILDREN needing our help. Your donations help children in our community.

We will need all donations back by Friday, December 10th so that we have time to prepare the gifts to be delivered to the children. If you chose a tag from a business you would then return the gifts to that same location being sure that you have your tag with your gifts so we know which child the gifts belong to. Thank you very much for helping us to make the holidays brighter for our kidz!! It is so much better to give than to receive!!

107 BACKPACKS DONATED BY LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

We would like to thank David Carr & BethAnne Arnold co-founders of the non-profit organization, The Joseph & Leslie Carr Foundation, for their recent donation of 107 back packs for our kids.

Their non-profit organizations main focus is providing holiday food baskets to families in need. Their father, Joseph Carr, created a Holiday Food Basket program over 40 years ago and they continue his mission through their non-profit organization. In 2020 they reached out to us and provided the Holiday Food Baskets to some of our families.

David & BethAnne recently reached out to us to ask if they might be able to help us with our annual backpack and school supply drive. They donated 107 backpacks for our kids. We greatly appreciate their continued support of our mission. Thank you you for helping us to make a difference!!

ANNUAL BACKPACK & SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE IS A SUCCESS

We would like to thank everyone who helped with our annual backpack and school supply drive for the kare kit kids.

The kids will be starting off the school year well prepared!! Thank you for helping us to make a difference!

7th ANNUAL FILL A TRUCK AT MARKET BASKET IS A SUCCESS

We would like to thank everyone who came out to Market Basket in Leominster last weekend and supported our 7th annual Fill A Truck event. Every year we continue to be amazed by the kindness & generosity of our community. This year we were concerned with the food shortage and the fact that Market Basket wasn’t able to get any Chef Boyardee products and the usual quantity of other products. Even with those difficulties we collected over $12,800 in food and monetary donations over the two days. What a difference a couple of days and a lot of caring individuals can make!!

 
Take a look at how empty our kastle was on Thursday night and what it looked like by Saturday evening. Truly amazing! Once Market Basket can get Chef Boyardee products we will use some of the monetary donations to fill the shelves that have not yet been filled.

 
A very special thanks to Jim, Derek and Frank and all the employees from the Leominster Market Basket for their tremendous support in helping with this years event. We greatly appreciate all your efforts to help us have another successful Fill A Truck.

A final thank you to our amazing dedicated team for your unending support! We couldn't help the food insecure children without all of you!! Thank you!!

SATURDAY FILL A TRUCK AT MARKET BASKET

Our final day of Fill A Truck with our dedicated team!! Thanks to everyone who has supported our mission to help the food insecure children in our community!!
