Got
Your
Back
With back to school around the corner, Kid2Kid hosted their second volunteer initiative, called ‘Got Your Back’ in July and August.
With the help of many families from the Beaches Community, organizers Caroline and Shah purchased back to school essentials including backpacks, lunch bags, and school supplies, for kids residing at the local Red Door Shelter. Due to COVID-19, the initial plan of assembling the backpacks as a community was not possible. Rather some families individually packed the bag(s) they had sponsored and the Kid2Kid team put the rest together and delivered the goods. Some of the folks that participated shared how rewarding it was to have their kids take part of something that they really are able to understand and be part of.
Below are some quotes and photos from this wonderful opportunity that we had.
Kids' Marketplace 2025
The 2025 Kids' Marketplace, held on May 31, was a huge success! Together, we raised over $21,000 to support the youth at Red Door Family Shelter and other kids in need in our neighbourhood.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible youth vendors, generous sponsors, the inspiring Kid2Kid leadership team, dedicated volunteers, and our amazing community—this event wouldn't be possible without you. Your support proves that when kids help kids, incredible things happen! Check back next week for the video footage of the market. In the meanwhile you can see the awesome photo in our blog post.
Kids' Marketplace 2024
The video below showcases our 2024 annual Kids' Marketplace, which raised over $17,000. 100% of the proceeds are used to benefit the youth at the Red Door Family Shelter, and other local youth in need.
