What We Do for Clubs

FIRST FAMILY KOMFORT BACKBACKS SERVICE PROJECT

Your gifts, both large and small, will help us provide Komfort Backpacks for children who are in or leaving Foster care

 

When a Foster Child is pulled from one home and placed in another, often without warning, all they are typically able to take them are the clothes on their back.  A Komfort bag can offer them a sense of owenership.

 

Kiwanis Komfort Backpacks for Foster Children 

Our Focus is children over the age of 12.  Our backpacks will be given to a child when being placed in a foster home.  The backpack will have a few essential to help them feel comfort in their new environment.
