HUGE THANK YOU TO:

The Volunteers! Doesn't happen without you. Thank you for choosing to #createkindness for others with KIDS CARE.

Mrs. Cheryl Carson for donating your time, supplies, crafting skills & leadership to help guide us in our 1 1/2 hrs of card creating! You Rock!

Valentines Sidewalk Chalk Love for Seniors Complete! KIDS CARE volunteers of all ages spent hours decorating the sidewalks of two local senior Living Homes. And wow did we have a ton of fun! 

Youth inspired community service led us to lay down L--V-E at Arbor Terrace of Burnt Hickory & Winnwood Retirement Community.

At Arbor Terrace we loved that the seniors could watch us thru the windows. Soon enough they were coming outside to watch while waving & smiling at our volunteers.  So special!  We even got to watch a few of them enjoy the artwork.

Next we drove over to Winnwood Retirement Community where we colored the sidewalks that the seniors would be walking on to get to their "Burning Love Ball" on Valentines Day.

We are so proud of our volunteers for taking the time to make a HUGE impact on the lives of Seniors. We have gotten incredible feedback from the staff of how our actions over the last two days raised the Spirits & Energy of their residents.  And bonus - our volunteers felt their Hearts Grow!  Great idea KIDS!!

Atlanta Rescue Dog Cafe led KIDS CARE volunteers in ARDC's "One Leash Project." All leashes created on 3/19/22 were donated to Marietta Fire Dept Station #3 to be used to help secure loose pets during emergencies.

This service learning opportunity was fun, educational, therapeutic, & supportive for our local First Responders. All rope used was recycled climbing rope.

THANK YOU:  Mr. Aaron Fischer of ARDC, therapy dogs Otto, Jasmine, & Chloe and their handlers Kathie, Pam, & Theresa. And of course THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

Learning to connect with nature is a service to our world.  When we are connected we care.  When we care we respect.  And then we Love.  And when we Love we value & protect. 

Volunteers cleaned Laurel Park of litter, had fun with a scavenger hunt, choose winners for the Earth Day Poem Contest and took home their own potted flowers!

Give Time & Love to your Community. Be the change you wish to see for a Kinder & more Connected World. Community depends on the people who show up.

Thank you beautiful families for your Kind Hearts, your hard work, and your inspiration.  WATCH AWESOME FACEBOOK VIDEO:  https://fb.watch/kTz_pB9X_V/

Youth are so helpful & caring!  Give them the space & the place and they will show their big, kind hearts.

Who doesn't love feeling helpful? These youth volunteers were so excited to help today they didn't want to leave!  

It's magic to watch the chaos of volunteers getting started and then turn into harmony... all the hearts working together as one big giving heart... getting it done!

So much giving, so much learning. So much caring & so much compassion. #servicelearning #servicelearningnonprofit

Thank you YOUTH & FAMILY VOLUNTEERS!  Its way better together with you.  THANK YOU The Salvation Army Marietta Corps for letting #kidscare2018 pack 260 food bags for you to fulfill your mission to feed the hungry, thank you for serving our community.

Thank you Keep Smyrna Beautiful & Smyrna Recycling Center for helping to educate us on the ya's & nay's of responsible recycling. (No wishcycling)

We loved the tour of the recycling center, the hands on learning & fun sorting game at the end to practice our new skills.

Did you know that the average U.S resident produces about 4.5 pounds of waste per day? (Most of which is recyclable). Time to take ownership & responsibility of our own trash. #selfeducation

If you missed the tour with us join up with #keepsmyrnabeautiful to catch the next available tour.

Not our litter but it is our Earth.  KC Litter Heroes took off at Laurel Park on 9/24 in search of all litter - big & small.  As expected we found the usual suspects lingering dangerously in wildlife habitats: cigarette butts, plastic bread ties, tin/aluminum cans, glass bottles, balloons, plastic bottles, bottle caps, plastic bags, straws, metal, toys, styrofoam, to go containers and more...including the thoroughly disliked plastic tree parts pretending to camouflage the cell phone tower.

Thanks to our bright bunch of volunteers who have their super power "Trash Eyes" focused on ALL the trash...including the MICROPLASTICS!  We are so proud of everyone's efforts and knowledge.  Thank you for tending to Mother Earth with us.  Special Congrats & Gratitude to Cory for earning his "Earth Hero" Patch!  Great job Cory!  WATCH FACEBOOK VIDEO HERE: https://fb.watch/kTCvZ7Q7Nc/

All rocks will be given away and placed about our community in honor of World Kindness Day in Nov.  We sure hope you find Kindness & Love everyday!

KIDS CARE volunteers took to the streets at the Taste of Kennesaw on Nov. 5, 2022 in Honor of World Kindness Day. We gave out heartfelt compliments, 5 dozen roses, 2 dozen carnations, tons of positive affirmation stickers, Kindness Pouches, Kindness Rocks and lots of genuine Smiles. We made the world feel better.

Great job to our BRAVE Kindsters for connecting with strangers. It is not easy, we are so proud of everyone! There is always a lot to absorb from this type of experience. Overall, everyone left feeling joyful, connected, happy, grateful, bigger and better than when we started our day.

Thank you to Building Strong Horizons, Inc. for donating the special Kindness Pouches and beautiful Kindness sign. We are so grateful to have you as a friend & supporter! Thanks for helping us spread Kindness.

Thank you Unplugged Adventures, LLC Families! Together your food drive for KIDS CARE collected 101 pounds of non-perishable food and personal care products! Your generosity has been gifted to The Center for Family Resources!

KIDS CARE, Unplugged Leaders & all their families made special time to express gratitude for all our wonderful blessings while simultaneously connecting the kids to their own thoughts and feelings of empathy & compassion for our local community who faces food insecurity.

Those kiddos instantly had/have B-I-G hearts when exploring this grown up topic! So proud of all of them! #kidscare

Thanks to everyone at Unplugged Adventures for spending time, energy & money on this important topic.

Thanks fabulous families for volunteering on your day off! Your hearts are B-I-G & your Love is Gracious!  Thanks for Serving & Leading your youth into the gifts of Serving - especially with others! All the adults were a fantastic example of HOW to serve.  Leading by example, yet encouraging the youth to perform the actions themselves. 

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving our volunteers gathered at The Center for Family Resources nonprofit to offer Service in their food pantry.  Thank you to the CFR for trusting our young ones to help out in your working space. #community

So proud of the youth for showing absolute respect for the food, willingness, determination, patience & hard work at this service experience.  This experience created memories that are now woven into their Character.  They've learned first hand how a food pantry works & why food pantries are needed.

What a beautiful experience to have with family two days before Thanksgiving!  #blessedandgrateful
