💙💛EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!💙💛
The Jayden McKinney Memorial Foundation is proud to continue honoring Jayden's incredible legacy of kindness, compassion, and helping others with the expansion of a very special new program:
💙💛KARTER'S CARE CLOSET💙💛
Karter's Care Closet was created to provide schools with essential personal care resources for students who may not always have access to the everyday necessities they need.
We launched our second resource location at Henderson Junior High School. We are so happy to support this Campus with resources they were actively searching for while we were busy launching this program. It was fate I was preparing for this just in time and today I found out that one of those who was suggesting exactly what I was busy prepping for was Jayden’s teacher during his freshman year. We may have shed some tears as she realized who I was and that Jayden’s Foundation was the driving force behind this program and I realized the divine ways the Lord shows up to remind me that he and Jayden are guiding me together. We hope for a meaningful impact and through community support we can keep expanding the program to additional campuses in the future.
Teachers and school staff are often the first to recognize when a student needs a little extra help and far too often, they quietly reach into their own pockets to provide it. Karter's Care Closet is here to help change that.
Through this program, we will provide personal care items so teachers can quickly and discreetly support students with limited
resources.
Jayden showed us that kindness doesn't have to be a grand gesture to make a huge difference. Sometimes it's simply noticing someone who needs help and choosing to be there.
Through Karter's Care Closet, his little brother Karter McKinney hopes to continue that spirit of kindness— supporting our teachers, caring for our students, preserving their dignity, and making sure every child knows that someone cares.
Kindness lives on.

Continuing a legacy of kindness, one act of care at a time.
