01What it does

What Kids 4 Community does

Mission

To help children & their families give back to their communities in a meaniful way. We work with charitable orgs to develop programs that are specifically meant to engage children from 5yrs and up so they can be introduced to the concept of charitable work

As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.

Program

Organized the first major public 5K run and walk done by kid volunteers in San Diego (March 2018) with over 10,000 participants. We partnered with Interfaith Community Centers for this event, and supplies collected from this event helped feed the homeless, provide shelter, provide mentoring opportunities for the high risk youth, self-sufficiency and employment programs, temporary and permanent housing programs. Created over 19,000 hygiene kits through various events we hosted, these hygiene kits distributed to homeless and low income families across San Diego County. Hosted and supported events that targeted to help the victims of various disasters including Hurricane Florence (Sept 2018), Hurricane Michael (October 2018), California Wildfires (August 2018). In these events we made around 9,500 care packages for disaster victims that were then distributed in the disaster areas.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
