Kids are near and dear to our hearts. Smiling Kids, Inc was founded
to fill a simple need, something everyone should be able to
experience as a kid, the excitement and thrill of receiving a
special gift on their birthday. There are a number of charities
dedicated to helping families with gifts for children-in-need during
the holiday season. What about the other important milestones in
their lives, particularly birthdays? This is where we discovered
that we could make a difference and bring smiles to the faces of
children.
100% of the donations we receive directly benefit the children. The
operating expenses for Smiling Kids, Inc are paid for by separate
private donations.
