Keeping our sessions COVID safe

We work and interact with children and communities in need every day. As such, it’s important for us to care for our staff and volunteers – and protect those most vulnerable.

  • A completely rewarding afternoon

    It’s a completely rewarding afternoon for my family, friends and me. Kids Giving Back have developed a wonderful combination of education, action and service. I love contributing shoulder to shoulder cooking 100s of meals for those in need.

  • A wonderful experience

    We loved the cooking part, including the portioning - it was fun and energetic. But we learned the most from the presentation about homeless people. Annie was shocked that domestic violence contributed to homelessness.
