Kid2Kid

Kid2Kid is a non-for-profit organization started in the Toronto Beaches community by two moms who wanted their children to experience first-hand how their efforts can concretely help others. So, they put their heads together to find a way to make a difference with their kids and Kid2Kid was launched in 2019. Their mission is to encourage children to spread kindness through volunteer initiatives that directly impact children in need. In the past four years they have hosted bi-annual backpack initiatives; “Got Your Back” is their summer project which entails ordering back to school supplies (from wholesalers) and having children come out on an assigned date to help pack these backpacks with essential back to school supplies (e.g., notebooks, water bottles, stationery). Their “Winter Tote” project works in the same way, yet it takes place in the winter and the totes include winter essentials (e.g., gloves, socks, hot chocolate, crazy carpets). They donate these bags to the places with kids in need (such as the Red Door Family Shelter in Leslieville).
