KIDS 4 VETS
Our Projects.
This year we have exciting projects in the works to help support our veteran community. Though the Heart of America Stand Down has been cancelled due to the pandemic, Kids 4 Vets will be supporting a new Stand Down event hosted by the local Vetarans Administration. We are also excited to be partnering again the KCPT Kids for a fall Daniel Tiger Day event with a fun Veteran's Day craft. Please see below details!
