💛 Community Clothing Need – Let’s Rally Together 💛

Kidds Are First is reaching out on behalf of a sweet 12-year-old girl named Bellarose who is currently in need of clothing—especially warmer items to keep her comfortable during this season.

👚 Sizes Needed:
• Shirts: 10–12
• Jeans: 12

🧥 Items Requested:
• Warm tops & T-shirts
• Joggers & jeans
• If available, a few shorts or dresses

👟 Shoes: She currently has two pairs, so footwear is not needed at this time.

Your generosity—whether donating new or gently used clothing—can make a meaningful difference in Bellarose’s comfort, confidence, and well-being. This is what community looks like: showing up for children when they need us most.

If you’re able to help call 📞
386 492-5500, or please comment below or send us a direct message. Thank you for always being the heart behind the mission. 💖

🎄✨ Wrapping Hope This Christmas ✨🎄

In this season of giving, the The CHC Alliance team had the joy of stepping up for children in foster care by supporting the Kidds Are First Angel Tree. 💝 Together, we helped fulfill Christmas wishes with thoughtful gifts—from toys and books to much-needed essentials—bringing smiles and a little extra magic to children who deserve it most.

Kidds Are First continues to be a force for good, meeting real needs while reminding children that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for. We’re grateful to stand alongside other organization that leads with compassion and impact in our community. 🌟

Thank you all for showing up with generosity, heart, and holiday spirit. Because of you, Christmas will feel brighter for so many families. 💖

Its NOT to late to sponsor a kid. DM us or call 386 492-5500 and discover how you can help.

🍁✨ Happy Thanksgiving from Kidds Are First ✨🍁

Today our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.
We are thankful for every child we serve, every family we stand beside, and every partner, donor, and volunteer who helps us bring hope to those who need it most. ❤️

As we gather with our loved ones, we are mindful of the foster youth, orphans, and under-resourced children who rely on the compassion of their community. It is an honor to show up for them — to remind them they matter, they are seen, and they are deeply loved. 🧡

This year, because of you, more children will experience joy, dignity, and moments of comfort they might not otherwise have had. Your kindness continues to change lives in ways far greater than you may ever realize.

From all of us at Kidds Are First, thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of a community that chooses love in action.
We wish you and your families a warm, peaceful, and blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃✨

With gratitude,
Kidds Are First

✨❤️ From the Kidds Are First Family to the Margarita Society of Volusia County… THANK YOU. ❤️✨

Tonight we are overwhelmed with gratitude. The generosity shown at the 2025 Margarita Ball will directly bless the foster children, orphaned youth, and underprivileged families we serve all year long.

Because of your heart and your giving, hundreds of little ones who are walking through some of life’s hardest moments will wake up with joy, dignity, and the reminder that they matter.

These toys are more than gifts —
they’re comfort…
they’re hope…
they’re reminders that our community sees these children/youth and stands beside them.

To every donor, every volunteer, every person who made this event possible: thank you for choosing compassion. Thank you for choosing our kids.

With all our love,
Kidds Are First Inc.
💛🎁✨ Helping children feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
