Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Empowering kids, building a better future. We believe every child deserves the tools and resources necessary to succeed both academically and socially, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

A community where no child goes without basic necessities for learning and growth. We envision a future where every student has equal opportunities to reach their full potential.

Compassion, dignity, and community partnership guide everything we do. We treat each family with respect while building lasting relationships that strengthen our entire region.
What We Do
SOUTHTOWNS KIDS CHARITY is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing children in need with essential resources to help them succeed academically and socially. We understand that basic necessities shouldn't be barriers to a child's education and development.
Clothing Assistance
We provide new and gently-used clothing for children of all ages, including school uniforms, seasonal wear, and special occasion outfits. Every child deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their appearance.
School Supplies
From backpacks and notebooks to calculators and art supplies, we ensure students have the tools they need for academic success. Our back-to-school drives help hundreds of families each year.
Additional Resources
We go beyond basic needs to provide tutoring support, mentorship programs, and connections to other community services. Our holistic approach addresses the complete well-being of each child.
