Mission

Since 1985, K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations) has fulfilled its promise of bringing smiles to children in need by distributing over a half-billion dollars worth of new merchandise. In 2007, nearly $62 million worth of new products was distributed for the benefit of almost five million children who live in poverty and suffer from distressed conditions. K.I.D.S. operates six key programs that focus on meeting the needs of: victims of natural disasters and political unrest; homeless children; domestic abuse victims; children with low literacy levels; children of incarcerated parents/juvenile offenders; and military families/wounded soldiers.
