We Can't Do it Without You! Here's How You Can Get Involved Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Organize your class, team or organization to start a Kid Kits© campaign - it doesn't matter if it is a group of 3 or 30! Everyone can contribute and every little bit helps!

Step 2: Distribute flyers, spread the word, and get people excited about what you're doing! Need help with the flyer? Click Here to download Kid Kits' flyer. Just print and pass it out! Let us know you are getting involved so we can help you spread the word too! For more information, please Click here.

Step 3: Establish a drop-off/storage location. All you need is a place to collect and assemble the backpacks. If it is O.K. with you, we will tell others to drop-off there too. Don't have a drop-off site? Click Here for a list of current locations.

Step 4: Start collecting items and filling backpacks. Any bag that zips shut will work. See the list below for suggested items. Every bag does not have to include every single item - and you don't have to spend a lot of money. Look for thoughtful, inexpensive stuff.

Step 5: Contact Relief International to schedule a pick-up. We will handle all the shipping, and our relief teams will personally distribute each bag to a needy child.

Step 6: Spread the word! Tell your friends, family, co-workers, clubs, sports team, church group, and community organizations what you are doing, and encourage them to get involved too!
