Our Story

Born from a simple idea after Hurricane Helene, For Kids By Kids has grown into a movement of compassion. Together, we teach children to love like Jesus by actively serving their neighbors in need.
 

Moms, Kids, and a Mission to Spread Love

Hurricane Helene

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our group of homeschool moms was deeply moved by the devastation that struck the mountains of Western North Carolina. The storm left behind severe flooding and destruction, particularly in remote communities where families struggled to recover. We knew we had to do something— but we wanted to do it in a way that would also involve our children in the process, teaching them the power of kindness, community, and service.

Faith Focus

And so, For Kids By Kids was born. Our mission is simple: to create blessing bags filled with essentials and deliver them to children aged 2-18 who are facing hardship in the mountain communities of Western North Carolina. With God’s guidance, our children play an active role in the entire process—from shopping for supplies, packing the bags, to personally delivering them with love and compassion. We believe in teaching our kids not just to care but to act, spreading smiles and kindness in the places that need it most.

The Future

Our goal is to expand outreach into schools, food banks, and children’s hospitals, ensuring no child is left behind.

We understand the ongoing need for support and generosity in these communities. That’s why we’re focused not only on immediate relief but also on long-term partnerships.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to continue this work and grow it further. Join us as we teach the next generation how to love like Jesus and make a lasting impact in our neighbors’ lives.

Our Mission

At For Kids By Kids, we empower children to serve and spread love in Western North Carolina by creating and delivering blessing bags filled with essentials and joy for kids aged 2-18.

Guided by faith, we believe in teaching the next generation to love like Jesus through hands-on giving, fostering compassion, and creating smiles one bag at a time.
