Community Events For Low-income Kids--posted by PinkeyB1014 on Mar 10, 2010 I live in a small mobile-home community . The people here have very low incomes. The children have nowhere to go and nothing to do. With the help of others in the community, I put on events for the kids and their families throughout the year. In the summer we have "Kids Safety Day ," where we have food, games and prizes and the local police & fire teams join us to talk to the kids. Everyone has a good day! At Halloween we do a Haunted Forest. I think the adults organizing it probably have more fun then the kids and families here. At Christmas , we get presents for the kids to give to their parents. We pay for all of this by selling candy, having yard sales and taking donations of items from people to raise the money for these events. And that's not all, we do so many other events too! The best thing about all of this, is to see the happy faces of the kids and their families. We ask for nothing in return except to have fun. email this | print |
