The Broomfield Kids Care Club in Broomfield, CO is a small club with lots of heart. The Club's eight members are schoolmates, ages 5-8. This May, in recognition of National Foster Care Month, they decided to make Smile Sacks for local children in foster care.
To raise money, the kids held a multi-family garage sale. They made signs, donated toys and other household items, sold food and beverages and handled all transactions with the customers. They also organized FLIP FLOP FRIDAY fundraiser at their school. Any child who wished to wear flip flops to school on this one special day donated $1. The Club raised $700 from the two fundraisers. The club members shopped for and assembled the Smile Sacks. They drew pictures and created a handmade tag that read "Made for you by kids who care". When, they delivered the 25 Smile Sacks to the Health and Human Services office, the caseworkers were thrilled to recieve the new items for their clients.
A small group like the Broomfield Kids Care Club make a BIG impact and bring smiles to some children during a difficult time in their lives.
