Contributions to our General Fund help us to implement new programs, improve on existing programs, and to provide for the children that we serve. Gifts to this fund also aid us in meeting new and evolving needs that arise for families and the communities in which we work.
Children Incorporated has been so very blessed over the decades by incredibly loyal supporters like you who sincerely want to make a difference in the lives of those who struggle. This year, our goal is to raise $55,000 for our 55th Anniversary.
Donations to our Warm Clothing Fund allow our coordinators to purchases boots, coats, hats, scarves, and mittens for our sponsored children living in particularly harsh weather, such as in Detroit, or Eastern Kentucky. You can make a huge difference in the life of a child by contributing to this fund today!
Giving a child a pair of shoes and socks can mean the difference between them going to school or not. Children Incorporated has always made a point of providing good, solid shoes to these children, knowing that shoes can be too expensive for many families. As such, our Shoes and Socks Fund has been one of our most meaningful endeavors.
Our Skills Training Programs are implemented at many of our projects around the world. Thanks to these programs, students are given the opportunity to learn skills to help them obtain employment after they graduate, so that they can help support their families right out of high school and eventually become financially independent.
The purpose of our International Feeding Programs Fund is to feed enrolled children who would otherwise go hungry so that they can be alert at school and ready to learn. This fund supports programs in the Philippines, Kenya, and Ethiopia to buy grains, meats, vegetables, and cooking supplies to feed children.
Donations go to support feeding programs in the U.S., such as our backpack feeding program, which gives children in Eastern Kentucky food to take home on the weekends and food in the summer when school is not in, and they are not receiving meals on a regular basis.
We add new children to our program every day, and finding enough sponsors for all of them is one of our greatest challenges. The global need is so profound that some children wait months for a sponsor. Gifts made to our Shared Hope Fund provide immediate assistance to children awaiting sponsorship.
Our Hope In Action Fund supports children in their health, educational, and livelihood needs. Contributions are used in emergency situations, like when natural disasters strike, in times of extreme hardship due to health challenges, and when families are unable to pay for school activities for their children.
Our Higher Education Fund helps young people pursue their dreams of completing certificate programs or obtaining a degree from a university or college. Many of our Higher Education Fund beneficiaries have returned to their communities in positions as teachers, nurses, social workers, accountants, architects, counselors, and speech therapists.
