Once again EAC received a very generous donation of new jackets and fleece tops for children and adults from “Kids Helping Kids” by Kids Way, Inc. EAC was invited to participate in a press conference hosted by Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray that was held at Millennium Toyota in Hempstead. The donations were unveiled and the selected charities got to say “thank you” publicly, and share what it means to families not to be forgotten.
The clothing was distributed before the holidays by EAC staff to families on Long Island, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. “EAC is very grateful to Bob Eslick, Executive Director of “Kids Helping Kids” for his generosity and kindness. It means so much to people who are struggling during these very difficult times to know that others care,” expressed Lance W. Elder, EAC President & CEO.
The mission of “Kids Helping Kids” by Kids Way, Inc. is to encourage philanthropy in young people. Since the inception of the “Making a Warmth of Difference” Winter Apparel Program in 2006 “Kids Helping Kids” has distributed well over $1,000,000 ($MSR) in winter related apparel to kids and their families that are less fortunate to help brighten their holidays and keep them warm during the cold winter months.
