Other For many children, poverty shows up in deeply visible Other ways: wearing the same worn clothes day after day, Other missing out on field trips, skipping school to avoid Other stares/comments. These moments can lead to Other embarrassment, bullying, and isolation. At Alices Kids, Other we believe the most painful part of poverty is the loss Other of dignity. Other Our mission is simple: remove the financial barriers Other behind those moments - quickly, discreetly, and without Other stigma. Other Alices Kids fund the little things that make a big Other difference in a childs life. Field trip fees, shoes, Other eyeglasses, school supplies, prom tickets, Other extracurricular activities, and more. While modest in Other cost, these items often determine whether a child feels Other included or left out. Other What sets Alices Kids apart is how the help is Other delivered. We do not require families to complete Other applications, submit financial documents, or share Other personal hardships. Instead, requests come from a Other trusted nationwide network of teachers, social workers, Other law enforcement personnel, CASA advocates, and other Other community professionals who understand the childs Other needs firsthand. Most requests are fulfilled within 24- Other 48 hours. Other Support is provided in a way that perserves the dignity Other of both the child and their family. Parents or Other caregivers are given a gift card, and then take the child Other shopping or pay for a trip without the child ever Other knowing they received charity. In these moments, the Other parent becomes the hero, and the child simply Other experiences the joy of being a kid. Other What began as a small grassroots effort has grown into Other a nationwide movement of quiet impact. In 2012, Alices Other Kids raised approximately $14,000. In 2025, the Other Organization surpassed $1 million in annual donations and Other supported more than 14,000 children across all 50 states. Other 2025 was our most successful year to date. Other * Alices Kids saw a 37% increase of requests over 2024. Other * We received the highest possible rating from Charity Other Navigator. Other * We paid $175,000 for more than 800 high school seniors Other who lost their homes to the Palisades fires in California Other to go to the prom. Actor Steve Carell helped with a Other video announcement during senior assemblies where the Other kids were stunned! Other * We garnered more than 75 unique articles in media Other throughout the country, including mentions in the Today Other Show, ABC Nightly News with David Muir, CBS Mornings, The Other Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. Other * Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) awarded Other Alices Kids a proclaimation commending our work for kids Other across the country. Other * We had a lot of fun with movie star Kevin Bacon on his Other podcast. Executive Director Ron Fitzsimmons, along with Other comedian and supporter Patton Oswalt, talked to Kevin Other about our work. Other * Speaking of celebrities, we recently got the support of Other Stephanie Courtney, otherwise known as Flo in the Other Progressive Insurance ads. Other Behind every number is a student able to attend a once Other out-of-reach academic program, art supplies that blossom Other into a growing talent, a teen gaining confidence by Other interviewing in a new suit, and educators witnessing Other renewed confidence in students who no longer fell left Other out. Other Here are some testimonials from requestors on how Alices Other Kids has helped their students: Other * I want to tell you that the first support I received Other from you was a soccer uniform for a student on the wrong Other track, but desperately wanting to play soccer. He now Other dedicates himself to sports and his studies. He has made Other a 180-degree change - it brings a lot of joy to see Other everything he has achieved! Other * I am very grateful for the work and support that your Other organization gives us. In my role as family liason, I Other have learned that our children not only need food and Other clothing, but to show them that we believe in them - it Other is often the impetus they need to break all limits and Other fulfill their dreams. Without your help and support, Other stories like these would not be possible. Other * Thank you all so much for these incredible services, Other truly life-saving! While I dont have any photos of my Other kiddos using their items, I can confidently say that Other youve made a lasting impact on their lives. One child Other received a fishing pole, allowing him and his stepdad to Other rebuild their bond. Others received bikes and musical Other instruments, bringing joy and new opportunities into Other their lives. Your support has done more than just Other provide items; it has helped reconnect families and kids Other with each other and with their communities. We are Other beyond grateful. Thank you all for your hard work and Other dedication! Other * I would love to thank you all for your support of our Other families this year! I was able to give (I believe) five Other gift cards, and the families were beyond appreciative! Other I love your goal of helping kids feel like they fit in by Other not being outed for their inability to pay for things. Other The fifth grader who proudly wore a new outfit for Other promotion; the fifth grader who was able to have a party; Other and now the fourth grader who gets to have his own room Other with indiviualized decor! I cannot thank you enough! I Other love what you do and am able to see the appreciation in Other cargivers eyes! Other * Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks. The Other experience was something I dont think they will ever Other forget. Thankful for this organization that helps combat Other the helpless feeling that sometimes creeps up in working Other families living in extreme poverty in rural areas. You Other have been instrumental in filling the chasm of support in Other remote areas. Thank you! Other Alices Kids continues to expand it reach while staying Other true to its founding belief: when dignity is protected, Other everything else becomes possible.
