Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Lets help kids was started by a six-year-old kid to help other kids. We have a dual mission. The first is to provide elementary-aged school children whose families are experiencing financial hardship by providing them with special items or experiences that they otherwise could not afford. Our second mission it to provide an educational foundation to teach children and families the value and ease of volunteering and philanthropy. Through gifts of kindness and joy we lift spirits. Through teaching and sharing our model of philanthropy we extend our mission and create a bucket brigade of change.

To support financially disadvantage children.
