Christmas Assistance Event
Donate or Sponsor a Child this Holiday Season
KARE for Kids, Inc. is a non-profit organization providing Christmas for underprivileged children.
We host The Mountain Moonshine Festival fundraiser each year, to finance our goals. We also take donations from groups, businesses or organizations. Every penny raised goes towards the children of Dawson County. We provided Christmas to over 500+ children in the 2020 Christmas season alone! Thanks to all of our volunteers and sponsors. There are many civic organizations, churches, businesses and individual families that have joined in the effort to make sure all of the children in Dawson County have a Christmas that they deserve. We appreciate all of these groups.
They help KARE by sponsoring children for Christmas; make their business a toy drop off as well as financial support.

Many thanks!
It is because of you, your family, and your kind friends that hundreds of children in Dawson County will have a joyous and exciting Christmas! Our organization is here to serve the children in our county in situations where there is an identified need. We work closely with local agencies/schools to help those children who often fall between the gaps. For each child there is an innate need to feel joy, love, pride, confidence, and many other things that a special Christmas gift can bring.
As preparations begin, volunteers are working on the holiday activities that lie ahead. Last year we assisted more than 230 families totaling 550 children here in Dawson Co. Not only do we help with Christmas, we too, assist the many schools here in Dawson to provide clothing to children in need throughout the year. We have just recently started a Back To School program called KARE Kloset.
The guidelines for what we purchase each child are outlined and you can indicate your level of commitment as a sponsor.
All SPONSORS must have their items ready to turn in by December 8th.
You can contactthe KARE phone at 706-216-5273 to do so.
Thank you for considering helping a family or child in YOUR community!
