Kits For Kids
“Kits for Kids,” is a statewide community service initiative that gives schools an opportunity to support children and families in need within their own communities. To participate, each school will choose a Tennessee-based organization in its area that serves children or families and partner with that organization to determine what items are needed. The school will then conduct a drive to collect the requested items and assemble them into kits for the organization to distribute. Because each community and organization has different needs, there is no required list of items for the kits; the contents should be based on what the chosen organization requests.
This allows schools across Tennessee to make the project more meaningful by addressing a specific need in their own area while still participating in one unified statewide service project. Schools should contact their chosen organization before beginning their drive to determine what items are needed and any specific guidelines for donations or distribution. The project can be adapted to fit each school's resources and community while keeping the overall goal of providing practical support to those who need it most.
St. Jude Children's Hospital
TASC is excited once again to partner with St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. Unlike any other hospital, the majority of our funding comes from individual contributions. And thanks to generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude.
TASC...thank you for helping St. Jude Children's Hospital this year! Please take the time and submit a google doc report form for each project this year that your council participates in or initiates. If your council would like to work towards the TASC Council Platinum Award at the end of the school year, then you must submit at least one project dedicated towards St. Jude.
