Ways to Give
We make it easy to Give
Make a difference in the life of a child. Support Kids ‘n Kinship.
Businesses, individuals, foundations and our fundraising events provide the resources we need to fund our program. If you support what we do, please help us continue.
Sponsor an Upcoming Event or Quarterly Outing
Kids ‘n Kinship holds quarterly outings for our Kids ‘n Kinship participants. Each of these events costs us $500-$1000 to provide free-of-charge activities for our Kids ‘n Kinship youth, mentors and families. We’re always looking for businesses to sponsor these events in order to make them as successful and fun as possible . Sponsorships available for:
Ice Fishing in January
Spring Event TBD
Camp Streefland in July
Apple Orchard in October
We also hold two annual fundraising events in the Spring and Fall and we’re always looking for sponsors for these events. To sponsor, please contact our Executive Director Alicia D. Crudup at director@kidsnkinship.org.

Food Testing
You can earn money for Kids ‘n Kinship by signing up to be a food testers. Food testers are asked to evaluate a small portion of food and give their opinions about the product’s taste or appearance. Each time testers participate in a taste test, they receive $21.00 to $35.00 and their selected organization (we hope Kids ‘n Kinship) is credited with $6.00 to $9.00. Food testers can be anyone ages 18 to 65, without food allergies. The time commitment is generally under an hour for each test. Both day and evening times are offered. Visit www.tasteocracy.com to register. Please notify us if you do, so we recognize the name!
I have been involved in Kids ‘n Kinship for over 5 years now and am currently mentoring my second mentee. This is a great organization to provide role models to kids that are missing that in their life. Thru our weekly visits we normally try to do something outside like biking in the summers and hiking or snowshoeing in the winters. He is a video game guy and normally never leaves the house. School attendance has been an issue for him and one of my goals is to see him graduate from high school. He is currently in the 10th grade.
If it was not for this mentorship program he would still be indoors every day and not in school.
