Community & Family Outreach

Reaching out to ensure strong family and community support

Every child deserves the security of a warm and loving home environment, being raised in a functional family with firm values and strong family traditions. We reach out to our families with support, guidance and tools to build a meaningful and wholesome family life, based on Jewish principles and values. We bring families and communities together with holiday retreats and packages, counseling and spiritual direction, financial and hands on assistance.

My whole family had an incredible time at the retreat! Even my couch potato husband. It is a real support to us in every sense of the word.

Family Holiday Retreats

Periodic family weekend retreats allow our children to bring their entire families into the Kars4Kids family, giving their parents and siblings a taste of the care and warmth they experience all year. Spending time together in a relaxed atmosphere, families bond with each other and with mentors.

On major holidays, we invite our families to spend a few days together with us, where they enjoy the full flavor of a traditional holiday surrounded by knowledgeable families, rabbis and counselors.

Fun Fact!
500 people from 29 different cities attended our recent family retreat.

I pray to G-D, let me win the lottery, so I can give you guys back a little of what you gave us.

Charity Distributions

Without adequate financial resources, it’s difficult for people to focus on emotional, mental or spiritual advancement. Helping to enrich a family’s emotional and spiritual life starts with ensuring their financial stability.

Since our first coat giveaway in 2010, we’ve been responding to the needs of the community with various charity events and giveaways throughout the year. From backpacks and school supplies to clothing and food, every distribution helps us reach more families and children in areas of need.

Small Grant Initiative

We’re not the only ones doing great work for kids. The Kars4Kids Small Grant Program is dedicated to supporting educational initiatives around the world, helping us impact more children. Our committee is constantly on the lookout for likeminded charities which share our values and are working hard to make a difference in the areas of education and youth development. We encourage nonprofits to apply if they think they’re a fit and for individuals to let us know of nonprofits doing great work that they can recommend.

I love the fact that as soon as my Bluetooth disconnects it alerts me. It adds more security & safety precautions to keep my baby safe.

Public Service Campaigns

With a wide media network, Kars4Kids serves as child safety, health and wellbeing advocates and promotes education and mentorship through a variety of media, advertising, awareness campaigns and public service messages.

The Kars4Kids Safety App was developed in response to the tragic rise of child fatalities due to Forgotten Baby Syndrome. The app uses Bluetooth technology to trigger an alert when the car is turned off, reminding the driver about the child in the backseat.

We publish educational materials for parents, culling from our own vast experience as parents and educators and from extensive research into topics.
