4KIDS
4KIDS is able to impact the lives of thousands of kids every year because of amazing partnerships with churches throughout South Florida and Palm Beach. The Church is the answer to the foster care crisis, and within the Church body, kids can find the hope and healing of a Christian family.
There are many ways to partner with 4KIDS Palm Beach and equip your church to care for children and teens in our community. For more information on becoming a Church Partner, please contact Chris Farley at ChrisF@4KIDS.us
Whether you are a small business owner or a representative of a large company, 4KIDS offers many avenues for corporations to elevate their social responsibility. As 4KIDS Partners, companies can choose to invest their time, talent, and/or treasure to give back to the children and families we serve.
• Invest Time – Your company can participate in service projects, collect supplies for 4KIDS Annual Back to School Drive or Annual Gift of Hope Drive, and more.
• Invest Talent – We can work with your company to create “skills-based” volunteering experiences, such as facilitating a life skills training or class to teens and young adults in 4KIDS’ care.
• Invest Treasure – Your company can provide a financial gift such as in-kind donations or services, sponsor a 4KIDS family or community event, or create an employee giving, matching program, or fundraiser to benefit 4KIDS.
Here are a few examples of existing 4KIDS Partners that have used these three focuses to make a deep impact in our community!
JM Family Enterprises has been a long-time 4KIDS Partner, sponsoring several of our fundraising and family events. Most recently, they’ve also offered valuable life lessons to our TIL 2:25 & HCP residents through hosting Life Skills Classes. During these classes, our young adults gain insights in the areas of cooking, managing finances, building a resume, and more, helping these teens feel better prepared for adulthood and hopeful for a successful future.
Each year, Lilly Pulitzer stores around the country select local organizations for shopping days where a percentage of the proceeds from that day’s sales benefit the nonprofit. This enables each store to have a meaningful impact on their surrounding communities. This year Shop & Share events benefitting 4KIDS were held at several Lilly Pulitzer stores including Las Olas, Town Center at Boca Raton, Worth Avenue/Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens Mall, and more.
Ricky Lowe is a well-known artist in South Florida and beyond, with paintings on display at many galleries around the world! While traveling to different art shows across the country to sell his artwork, he generously gives a portion of the sales to benefit 4KIDS! Ricky and his wife, Kirsten, have a passion for foster care and are involved in respite care and babysitting for 4KIDS Foster Families, and love these children like their own. As Ricky travels, he shares the story of 4KIDS and the mission behind the work we do.
We would love to help you become more of a mission-focused, purpose-driven business in our community who helps transforms the lives of vulnerable children and families all around us. Email ElseE@4KIDS.us or call 561.699.8570 to get connected.
