Kayla's Kits

Kayla's Kits is a project that will create canvas bags filled with items to be given to children entering foster care by DFACS.

"Kayla's Kits" for Foster Kids will be creating kits that foster children can take with them from home to home. These kits will provide items that the children can call their own when they are taken away from everything they had. These simple canvas bags will help foster kids take their minds off of everything they've lost and give them confidence and a sense of belonging. So where will all this b

e taking place? Fundraising happens throughout Georgia. This year we are aiming to deliver Kayla's Kits to the following counties: Barrow, Jackson, Clarke, Oconee, Walton, Madison, Oglethorpe, Morgan, and Greene. We are sponsored by Midway United Methodist Church in Auburn GA.

Here at Kayla's Kits, football is always on our minds! We know how much kids love sports, so we include footballs in our kits!

Need of the Week: Monetary Donations

We often talk about items you can donate, but monetary donations are extremely helpful too! We stretch EVERY penny we receive by buying in bulk, finding deals on "end of season" items, and shopping with lots of coupons. Our goal is to pay below "sticker price" for every item possible!

If you would like to make a donation to Kayla's Kits, marked checks can be mailed to Midway UMC 215 Kilcrease Rd. Auburn, GA. For other ways to donate, send us a message!

Need of the Week: Toothbrushes!

Every one of our Kayla's Kits contains a toothbrush, so that children can keep their teeth squeaky clean! Last year, we depleted our supply of toothbrushes when we packed 500 Kayla's Kits. This year we will need 550 toothbrushes!

If you would like to donate toothbrushes for Kayla's Kits, you can bring them to Midway UMC or you can message us to arrange a socially distanced pick-up.

Need of the week: Prayers for Foster Children⠀
⠀
Every August, we deliver Kayla's Kits to DFCS offices throughout Northeast GA. These Kayla's Kits will be distributed to children when they enter the foster care system. The children who receive a Kayla's Kit were forced to leave their entire family and life behind to live with strangers. ⠀
⠀
Pray that these Kayla's Kits will help show foster children comfort during such a difficult time.⠀
⠀
Pray that the foster children will have minimal home transitions and life disruptions during their stay in foster care. ⠀
⠀
Pray that incoming foster children will be placed in a home that fits their needs.⠀
⠀
Pray that foster children are greeted with love and respect from the people they meet: their new families, teachers, neighbors and students.
