Bringing the whole family together to offer comfort and care

As many of you know, Hurricane Helene has devastated the Southeastern region of our country, leaving countless families displaced, homes destroyed, and lives uprooted. While many organizations are focusing on providing immediate essentials like food and shelter, at The Coconuts Kid Fit Foundation, we are focusing on offering a different kind of help — providing comfort and care to families and children during this incredibly difficult time.

We are reaching out to you, not just for your support, but for the opportunity to involve

your entire family in this effort.

We believe in the power of community. Our goal is to collect gently used and new clothing, shoes, bedding, towels, toys, and other household items to distribute to families affected by the hurricane. We want to provide the small comforts that help people feel a little more at home in the face of such hardship. From cozy blankets to a favorite stuffed animal, these items can make a huge difference to children and families who have lost everything.

We know how quickly our children grow out of their clothes and toys, often leaving perfectly good items unused in our homes. We’re asking parents to work with their children to look through these unused items — clothes, toys, shoes, blankets, baby items — and set them aside for donation. This is a chance to teach our kids the importance of giving, compassion, and kindness. Together, you can help prepare these items, washing and packaging them so they’re ready to bring comfort and relief to children who are facing a frightening and uncertain time.

Let your children know that the toys or clothes they’ve outgrown can bring joy to another child who might have nothing left. It’s a powerful way for them to be part of something bigger — to help other kids their age who are going through the hardest time of their lives.
