"I just want to say thank you for serving us dinner tonight. This gift you bring to us is greatly appreciated and goes a long way. You bring a sense of happiness and a warm feeling into my heart with your gift, and joy and harmony into my life. So thank you."
-- A note from a client at the men's homeless shelter where KidzCare USA sometimes serves meals |
"Thanks to KidzCare, I’m more aware of the moments of service that I grew up with and that I have experienced through my life. And I have been inspired to join a group from my church that is going down to New Orleans for a week in February to rebuild houses...Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into KidzCare. I know this experience will influence my children for their whole lives."
-- Mother of two children enrolled in KidzCare's service-learning classes |
"I have two children...who have been participating in KidzCare since the fall [of 2009]. I am a huge fan! My children have really broadened their horizons, and now often think about those who are homeless, sick, or needy, immigrating, elderly, or disabled -- I am just amazed at the difference a small amount of time focusing each week has made. They have toured a homeless shelter, shopped for, cooked, and packed meals for the hungry, made gifts for children overseas in poverty, made adoption signs for an animal shelter, and learned a tremendous amount about immigration, endangered species, and so on....The course is very well-organized and engaging....The director is responsive and caring. In short, I highly recommend it."
