Donations
Every child needs guidance and love. Your donation makes it possible for a child in Dayton to access that free of charge. Between all our programs, a student will be picked up and brought to KIND 180 times per year, fed 180 hot meals, take home 350 pounds of food, receive 290 hours of instruction, experience 110 hours of active movement and play, go on 10 field trips, and attend 15 special events.
