Your gift feeds, drives, clothes and mentors a child — 100% volunteer-run.

Give today

Kids of the Community is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving at-risk youth in Warren County, Tennessee. We're funded by local businesses and individual donors who believe every child deserves to be healthy, safe, and taught life skills by responsible, caring adults.

Even though we're volunteer-run, there are real costs for food, transportation, insurance, utilities and repairs. One-time and recurring gifts are both deeply appreciated.

Food donations

We appreciate any and all food donations to help us keep serving meals. Whether it's produce from your garden, canned goods, or extra groceries from the store, we have walk-in freezers to store food for later.

Food served to children

Clothing & household items

We accept good-condition clothing, shoes and household items, which go to our children and their parents through The Store.

School supplies

Many children lack essentials like pens and pencils, colored pencils, markers, notebooks and binders, especially at the start of the school year. Sponsoring a child, donating, or dropping off supplies makes a real difference.

Christmas sponsorship

Many of our children wouldn't receive any presents at Christmas without generous sponsors. Each child makes a list with a toy they'd like, and their sponsor provides that toy and some clothing. Gifts are handed out at our annual Christmas party.

Paddlefest

Paddlefest is our annual fundraiser, with prizes sponsored by area businesses. It includes both a race and a leisurely float down the river. If you live in or near Warren County, sign up and enjoy a fun day on the water — many of our kids join the float in our donated kayaks.
