Lucy's Kids for Peace

03/23/2026

Oh what a night!! We were so happy to celebrate Jill being honored as a Peace Hero at the Kids for Peace 20th Anniversary Gala in San Diego this weekend! Because of Jill’s heart, vision, organization and passion (see video clip in comment) Jill was recognized as the longest-serving Kids for Peace chapter leader and a “dynamite” for our programs, such as the 2016 Peace Pledge Tour LKFP hosted in Kansas City (see throw-back photo poster that decorated the gala walls last night) and for creating our Peace Pro Scholarship Program. As we all know, Jill is tireless when it comes to LKFP’s (now) signature events (Thanksgiving Project, Bedtime Project, College Care Kits), but she’s always been tireless when it comes to her leadership-since 2012- in molding our kids (and entire families and communities) into intentional, action-oriented, creative and thoughtful peace-builders! Congratulations, Jill! “Let there be PEACE, yeah!!!”

Lucy's Kids for Peace will be doing our 5th annual College Care Kit project later this month. Many of us may remember how exciting it was to receive an unexpected package during that time of life! The packages will contain snacks, small toys/games, and a few other items to get these students through their last month of school and finals! They will be shipped to college students all across the country!
WHAT WE NEED:
1 - If you know a college student that we can send a package to, please sign them up! We are asking for a $12 donation per box to cover the shipping cost.

AND / OR

2 - If you are willing to contribute items for the boxes, you can choose an item off of our wish list. You may purchase items OR make a monetary contribution and we will shop for you!

Pictures speak a thousand words… especially when there are no words- except for an epic poem about the 2025 Bedtime Project extravaganza (below!) THANK YOU to EVERYONE that participated this year- big or small, near or far. These faces will live In our hearts all year long! (Additional videos In comments- the 6/7 video Is so awesome!!)

EPIC POEM:

Twas the day of bedtime project and all through KC

Adults and kids were excited to see

Games, toys and books, all wrapped with love

From each blanket, pillow, hat and glove!

The elves were in force, wrapping with joy

To bring Christmas love to each girl and boy.

One hundred and five kids felt loved by the community

The world was uplifted by the spirit of unity.

Each year we’re in awe

Of the endless fa-la-la

And all the kindness set loose

In the name of our sweet Lucy goose. 💜

The Bedtime Project DJ/PJ party is today!! Hooray!! We estimate that more than 500 people engaged in kindness/love/caring to support the 105 kids who we get to party with and shower with Christmas spirit today! More to post after the party, but enjoy this video of the Wrapping Party this week. Thank you to the many elves, near and far, who helped us once again in this huge undertaking!!

Each year at our Bedtime Project event, we experience kids who are SO EXCITED for their brand new packages of socks and underwear. We love to see the joy on their faces, but we also wish they didn't have to be so exited for these basics that many of us take for granted. We are thrilled to report that the only things we still need to cover for this year's event (coming up this Sunday!) are 28 more $40 donations. A $40 donation covers new books, socks, underwear, and a dental hygiene kit for one child.

On this Giving Tuesday, please consider helping us fill up the remaining spots. You don't even need to take the step of signing up - you can simply venmo a $40 donation to and we'll get it applied to a child!

Thank you for considering the Bedtime Project in your charitable giving!

There are also still 60+ spots to donate $40 which pays for the socks, underwear, and books that we purchase!

The Bedtime Project is here and it's bigger than ever - this year we are serving 105 kids! For our annual December project, LKFP partners with Phoenix Family to brighten the holidays for the children in their after-school programs at 4 residential sites in the Kansas City area.

The Bedtime Project is here! Once again, we're serving more kids than ever - 105 this year! For many of these kids, this is a highlight of the year. We throw them a big PJ party with a DJ, dancing, games, crafts, snacks, and at the end....presents galore! Each and every child will receive new PJ's, gifts, board games, a blanket and pillow, new socks & underwear, a dental hygiene kit, books at their reading level, and a winter hat & gloves or mittens. Please consider doing your holiday giving to the LKFP Bedtime Project. You'll not only be helping these kids and families, but the Lucy's Kids for Peace teens also gain valuable leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills while having the opportunity to help brighten the holidays for local kids who really need this.

What can you do? You can sign up for items for a certain child or several kids. Want to shop for a bunch of PJs or board games? Great! Maybe you want to select a certain child and buy all of the items for that kid....also great! Maybe you live out of town or simply would rather give financially - we love it! We have teens ready and willing to do the shopping for you! ANY amount is appreciated! (We spend approx. $120 per child for gifts, games, PJs, and winter wear and an additional $40 for socks, underwear, books, and dental supplies. Blush Boot Camp has generously offered to organize their members to cover ALL of the blankets and pillows this year!)

Items are due (with slight wiggle room) on December 2 so that we can sort, wrap, and organize at our Prep Party on December 3.

Please share this sign up with friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc. We are always grateful at how our community comes together to support this project!
