Have you ever needed someone in your corner? Most of us do.

Today is #Giving Tuesday. Today, like every day, we are grateful for you and the many ways you step up for children in need.
 
Our kids wouldn't make it without you. We are so thankful. 
 
But we still need your help. We have assisted more than 1100 children a lready this year while responding to an unprecedented level of violence affecting children. We usually help 10-12 children a year who lose a parent or caregiver to homicide. This year it will be more than 100.

at Kids Matter.
Through a thousand acts of kindness, you amplify the strength s of our kids  and  families. 
 
Your gift of any amount will help us respond to children with the  most critical needs and support our mission of helping children heal and thrive. 
 
If you prefer to give time, consider becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer
or become a holiday helper in the office. 
 
Finally, we have a critical need for hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweatpants for teens. If you are clearing out your closet to make room for new treas ures, or see a bargain while shopping, our teen cupboards are bare. We are especially in need of larger sizes - Men's or Women's M, L, XL and XXL. Email us if you want to help our teens.
 
Thanks!
