Team Kids Unite Featured Service Project
"Dream to Change the World"
In honor of the upcoming January holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we have a new featured project on Team Kids Unite, "Dream to Change the World!" This project invites youth to write a letter and share their dream to make the world a better place. The project is now LIVE and will run through the month of January.

Visit teamkids.org/unite for specific instructions on completing this featured project. Submission(s) make you eligible for monthly gift card giveaways and recognition via Team Kids social media. Youth are also encouraged to submit their own creative project ideas here.
Team Kids Live on ABC7 at Spark of Love 2022
It's been our pleasure to participate in the Spark of Love Toy Drive 2022! In collaboration with Landsea Homes, all new and unwrapped toys were donated to children in the Orange County area. This year, the OC community, along with Team Kids, donated 8 BUSES filled with toys!

Thanks so much to ABC7 for featuring Team Kids live on ABC7 Eyewitness News, Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizza Store for providing delicious pizza, and RE/MAX Premier Realty and Meadow Park Elementary School for helping stuff the Team Kids bus.

Team Kids Shop With a Cop 2022
Our annual Team Kids Shop With a Cop event took place Thursday, December 15th! Shop With a Cop 2022 was a special night in which Irvine Police officers were paired individually with children at the Human Options domestic violence shelter to shop for presents from their holiday wish lists.

Mary, a retired Irvine teacher and long-time, hugely-compassionate Team Kids supporter (pictured above) puts together presents every year to gift to the mothers at the shelter as well, spreading holiday cheer and kindness. Thank you Mary for your heart of gold!
