Kids' Pages Cares Mission
Kids' Pages Cares serves families who are facing immediate health crises, unemployment, or living on a fixed retirement income. These families have a common desire to provide their children and grandchildren with basic needs, such as food, clothing and healthcare. They want their kids and grandkids to have the opportunity to enjoy their childhood and succeed in school. They need a "hand-up, not a hand-out." Most families would never ask for help so Kids' Pages Cares finds out about these families through school principles, teachers and social workers who identify children in need.
Kids' Pages Cares has helped more than 12,000 families since its inception in 1992 and provided more than $1,250,000 worth of assistance to deserving local families.
Kid's Pages Cares is a non-partisan, non-political, and non-religious, nonprofit organization. They do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, ancestry, gender, age, physical or mental disability, marital status or any other characteristic protected by state or federal law or local ordinance. Their administrative costs are less than two percent. 98 percent of all donations go directly to assist local children in need.

Famous quotes containing the words pages, cares and/or mission:
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
