2024 Thanksgiving Project

Lucy's Kids for Peace will again be collecting items and assembling Thanksgiving meal baskets that will be delivered to 24 local families! The baskets contain everything a family needs for their Thanksgiving dinner including drinks, paper products, seasonings, roasting pans, canned goods, a turkey and ham, and pumpkin pie! Many items are provided by a generous donor, and the rest of the items are included on the SignUp Genius and are fulfilled by supporters in our community and families participating in the project.

2024 Bedtime Project
December 8, 2024

Our December Bedtime Project is in its 11th year and is our biggest event of the year!  We partner with Phoenix Family (a local organization that provides services to low-income families) to make the holidays brighter for almost 100 kids in the after-school program at four of their residential properties in the KC area!

 

ABOUT THE BEDTIME PROJECT:

  • Lucy's Kids for Peace receives details on all of the children including their gift wish list, sizes, favorite board games, reading level, favorite colors, etc. We then put all of the info into a massive Sign Up Genius. Each child has a spot for gifts, PJs, games, a blanket and pillow, winter wear, and a $35 spot that covers that child's books, socks, underwear, toothbrush, and toothpaste (which we purchase). 

  • Generous donors from near and far sign up to shop for items and contribute financially. We now also offer the option to donate money and Kids for Peace teens get to be personal shoppers!

  • We hold a Prep Party on December 4 where we gather to sort, wrap, organize, and package a truckload of gifts!

  • On December 8, we hold a huge PJ party with the kids with a DJ, face painting, crafts and activities, cookies & drinks, and more. At the end of the party, each of the kids are presented with a huge bag of gifts that have been chosen and wrapped JUST FOR THEM!

 

This is a great opportunity for kids to realize that there are so many out there without some of the basics that we take for granted, but also to realize that they’re all kids and are more alike than different in the end. 

SUPPORT THE CHILDREN

Why get involved in Kids for Peace?

By participating in Lucy's Kids for Peace projects, kids, teens, and families will:

  • become more civic-minded citizens as they gain a greater understanding of needs within their communities and beyond, and help in meeting those needs

  • learn team-building, collaboration, and communication skills

  • develop life-long awareness of the importance of giving back

  • gain leadership and public speaking skills

  • experience the fulfillment of serving others

Additionally, teens who choose to take on additional tasks and opportunities may:

  • learn leadership and organizational skills and improve or demonstrate leadership skills they already have

  • identify needs within their communities and beyond, and develop and implement plans to aid in meeting those needs

  • understand the value of seeing projects through to completion

  • learn to communicate and collaborate with local partners, community leaders, parents, and peers

  • further develop problem-solving and conflict resolution skills

  • experience the fulfillment of serving others

  • participate in the Peace Pro Scholarship Program in which youth complete self-directed service projects

Participation in events is always encouraged but never required - join us when your family is able!
