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.

His goal is to collect original cards made by kids all over the city to send to our courageous health care workers, to hospital patients and to the elderly who are alone during COVID-19. To participate, visit their website: kidscardproject.com
What a wonderfully insightful website we stumbled upon. Many versatile situations that kids go through and how to manage in these situations. This post here is about dealing with COVID
