Join Kids Impact Community for a kid-led celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day through a virtual event and corresponding service project. With your support, your children will engage neighbors, friends and family to fill a Make Your House a Home Basket for Acts Housing with the painting, gardening and other necessities a family needs to make their very first house a home. This is a great opportunity for our kids to learn they have the capability of making a difference in our community, while spreading Dr. King’s message of equality and love! Perfect for ages K5-Tween!
Having a place to call home is central to our lives. It is a privilege we have come to acknowledge even more this year as we spend so much time in our homes. Safe and secure housing enables our kids to stay in the same school all year, offers a place for family to gather, a community to engage with and an address so we can vote and work.
Acts Housing, a local nonprofit focuses on growing equal housing opportunities with the mission of “empowerment through home ownership.” They believe if you buy a home, you build a community. The organization makes it possible for families with barriers (credit, savings, financial, language, etc.) to become homeowners. They provide home buyer counseling, real estate brokerage and home rehab expertise. Since 1995, they have helped 2500 families purchase homes. Our baskets will be given to homeowners in celebration of their hard work and success.
