The Kids Care Club

Kids can do a lot more than most people think. They can make the world a better place. Here is a ture story about kids who are doing just that.

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.
