Kids Support Network works year round to raise funds to give assistance and support to local disadvantaged families with children mostly by contacting the general public by phone or mail. Behind the scenes they support local organizations with charitable donations as well as raise funds for the Back to School Back-Pack campaign and Christmas for the Kids. It is unfortunate that not all will understand the dynamics or the fundamentals required to keep such a program functioning. While diligently striving to support those less fortunate over the years there will be some level of malice due to a misinformed populace. Please note, this organization has many facets and avenues it travels to spread support throughout the community including local churches, DSS, schools, shelters and yes while collecting the communities donations they do willingly offer to pick up non-monetary contributions for disbursement at no cost to you. FAI (Fraternal Aid) is simply for disbursement of funds. To quote Wikipedia: "A benefit society or mutual aid society is an organization, or voluntary association formed to provide mutual aid, benefit, or insurance for relief from sundry difficulties.". When choosing a charity it is best to consider the facts. Kids Support Network has grown in it’s outreach capabilities and will continue to support as many as it can. All donations are 100% tax deductible, a receipt is given. No collection of financial information is solicited.
