TCKF Friends: We’ve been asked to help a classroom of approximately 30 5th graders with their school supplies. If you can help some kids in need, please consider donating some of the items listed here. There are some great back-to-school deals on school supplies right now. Thanks! #TCKF #thecarekitfoundation

A box of all the essentials has been given to a family of 4 who recently lost their house to a fire on New Years Eve. Thank you Amy Woloszyk for making this happen! All sorts of school supplies and hygiene products were given to the family in a small effort to help them.
All of the supplies from Providence Catholic Girls Basketball’s Collection have been packaged into 70 CareKits and delivered to the Crisis Center for South Suburbia!!! This would not have been possible without the amazing effort of the PCHS Basketball Program!
Today we delivered 85 CareKits for members of St. Julie Billiart parish to distribute at a PADS shelter this weekend. Each CareKit had clean, reusable cloth masks thanks to our friends at The Toy Box Connection and hand warmers thanks to The Guardian Group. Many of the socks were donated by the late Mr. Paul Isherwood, a longtime TCKF supporter, through his work with the Knights of Columbus. We are so thankful for our community supporters - we couldn’t do what we do without you!
45 mens and womens CareKits are on their way to Roseland Hospital along with 72 special kids CareKits to comfort kids. A huge thanks to Leslie Moyar for making this happen!

These CareKits will go to low-income veterans with a handmade Christmas card! Thank you Don Donahue, Steve Hogan, everyone at the VA, and everyone who gave donations for helping make this possible!!!
