Kids Around the World

Our Vision is to empower future generations to live a hope-filled, Christ-centered life. Our Mission is to share God’s transforming hope with kids and their communities through FOOD, PLAY, and STORY. Through our three programs, with partners both domestically and internationally, we are helping children thrive by providing physical nourishment, the joy of play, and hope found in Christ through the sharing of His Word.

Kids Around the World helps children and communities thrive through FOOD, PLAY, and STORY. We provide nutritious meals, build and install playgrounds, and partner with local leaders to create weekly gatherings where children build relationships, grow in faith, and hear the hope of the Gospel. Much of this work begins locally in our Rockford warehouse, where volunteers help refurbish playgrounds that will be shipped to communities around the world. Volunteers assist with sanding, painting, sorting, organizing, and preparing playground equipment for future installation. Through partnerships with churches, schools, businesses, civic groups, and individual volunteers, we create opportunities for people to serve locally while making a global impact in the lives of children and communities.
