Community Volunteers Help ‘Serving Our Kids Foundation’ Feed Homeless and At-Risk Kids in Clark County
Serving our Kids Foundation is dedicated to feeding and serving the needs of Clark County Homeless and at-risk children. The grassroots, volunteer organization, was established to utilize the strength of community volunteers and donations to ensure Clark County youth are fed for the weekends (Pictured: Sun City Aliante Seniors w/Warm Hearts assist with bagging at Shadow Hills).
Serving Our Kids Foundation serves 60 CCSD schools and provides more than 3,000 weekend food bags, every week.

Want to Volunteer?
Volunteers are encouraged to assist with prep time, bagging assembly and delivery day.
- Prep time Wednesday involves preparing each food station for bagging assembly. Volunteers assisting in this step will gather the inventory from the shelves and count and sort food items in plastic crates for bagging.
- The bagging assembly, ideal for team building, takes place Thursdays at 6:00pm and involves volunteers working together in an assembly line to fill the bags for Friday delivery.
- Delivery day is almost always on a Friday. Volunteers have the opportunity to hand-deliver the weekend bags to the kids at the schools.
