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.

“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on 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 (1825–1895)
“Marriage is the highest state of friendship: If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
