In 1990, a bunch of friends got together. They wanted to make
their neighborhood a better place. They decided to rake the lawn
for a neighbor. She was an older woman. She could not rake the
leaves herself. She was surprised and happy.

A few weeks later, the same friends made 150 lunches for people
who were not getting enough to eat. This made the people happy.
They did not expect it.
The friends liked being helpful. They wanted to do more. They
started a club to help others called Kids Care Club.

An adult named Debbie Spaide helped with the club. Kids in other
towns were told about this club. They thought it was a good idea.
They wanted their own Kids Care Clubs.
Soon, other kids across the country opened Kids Care Clubs!

Children join the Kids Care Clubs because they want to help
others. Also, it is fun for the kids to get together.
Parents, teachers, and other adults work with the children in
Kids Care Clubs. They help the kids find where their help will do
the most good.

There is a lot that the kids can do to help. They visit with
those who might be lonely. They talk to people and play games.
Sometimes, they listen to music and dance.

The kids learn a lot from the older people as well. They tell
stories to the children about things that happened long ago.
The Kids Care Club visits make both the kids and the older
people very happy.

Kids in the Kids Care Clubs also like to help other kids.
They make cards and presents for children who are sick. This
cheers the children up and makes them feel better.
What kind of presents would you make for someone who was
sick?

Kids Care Clubs don’t help only sick children. They help other
children who need help, as well.
The Kids Care Clubs collect clothes and shoes. They send these
things to children who need them.

Also, kids in the Kids Care Clubs help clean up empty lots near
their homes. They collect food for those who need it.

a Kids Care Club.
