🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – KIDS 4 GOOD! 🚨
We have some important changes to share with our Kids 4 Good families! Please take a moment to read, as we want everyone to understand not only WHAT is changing, but WHY! ❤️
🎒 NEW AGE REQUIREMENTS – EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!
Kids 4 Good has made a corporate-wide change. Our stores are now open for shopping to children in Kindergarten through 12th grade (5-17 years old) ONLY.
Children who are not yet in Kindergarten may still receive age-appropriate items while supplies are available, but they will no longer participate in the regular shopping experience.
📖 GENEROSITY JOURNALS ARE COMING BACK!
Beginning with our NEXT SHOP DAY (date to be announced soon), Generosity Journals will become a required part of the Kids 4 Good shopping experience. This is mandatory for kids who are in 2nd grade and up.
Here’s how it will work:
❤️ Every participating child will receive a Generosity Journal containing 52 entry pages.
❤️ All entries must be in the child’s handwriting. NOTE - Kindergarten & 1st graders do not have to participate in the journals to shop. We will consider them “in training” and they will start their journals once they are in 2nd grade.
❤️ Each time a child returns to shop at ANY Kids 4 Good location, they must bring their journal with an entry completed about an item received during their previous shopping visit.
❤️ Journal entries must be about items received from a Kids 4 Good store and how those items were used to show generosity.
❤️ You do NOT have to complete an entry every week! Entries are only required when returning for another shopping visit, whether that’s the following week or several weeks later.
❤️ Journals will be available at EVERY shop day for children who haven’t started one yet. It’s never too late to begin! This is an ongoing program.
❤️ Once a child has received a journal, bringing it back with the required entry completed is MANDATORY to continue shopping.
✏️ AND PLEASE, KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Journal entries don’t have to be long, fancy, or perfect! This isn’t a school assignment, and we’re not grading anyone’s work!
A few simple sentences about what your child gave, who they helped, and how it made them feel are all it takes.
We want children to enjoy sharing their experiences, not feel overwhelmed by them.
It’s not about how much they write. It’s about helping them recognize the difference their generosity can make! ❤️
💰 AND THERE’S A $10,000 PRIZE! 💰
Once all 52 journal entries have been completed, the journal will be collected and entered into a drawing for a $10,000 PRIZE! 🎉
💜 NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY WE’RE DOING THIS…
We understand that change can be difficult, especially when it involves something new for our families. We also understand that adding a journal requirement may initially seem like one more thing to remember.
But please hear our hearts on this. ❤️
These journals are NOT intended to be a burden, another homework assignment, or something to make shopping difficult.
Kids 4 Good has never been just about giving children free items. It’s about teaching the next generation the importance of GENEROSITY!
Every child who shops at Kids 4 Good has the opportunity to choose something to KEEP and something to GIVE. But we want that experience to go beyond simply picking out two items.
We want children to begin thinking about WHO they can help, HOW they can make a difference, and WHY giving to others matters.
Imagine children walking into Kids 4 Good excited because they’ve already thought of someone they want to bless!
Maybe they want to help a local homeless shelter, donate supplies to an animal shelter, support a classroom, help another family, or simply brighten someone’s day.
THAT is the kind of generosity we want to inspire! ❤️
And if your child wants to give back to our community but doesn’t know where to start, PLEASE ASK! We have some wonderful resources and ideas to help children connect with local organizations and find meaningful ways to give.
These journals give children a chance to reflect on their kindness, celebrate the difference they’ve made, and encourage them to keep giving.
They also allow us to show our generous donors the impact their contributions are making, not just inside our stores, but throughout our communities!
We know there may be some growing pains as everyone adjusts to these changes, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Our goal isn’t just to give children something to take home.
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE A GENERATION OF GIVERS! ❤️
We hope our families will embrace this opportunity and help us continue teaching children that generosity isn’t about how much you have. It’s about what you’re willing to do for someone else.
📅 Our next Madisonville shop date will be announced SOON!
Thank you for being part of Kids 4 Good and helping us make a difference, one child and one act of kindness at a time!
❤️ Kids 4 Good – Madisonville
