Organization: Kids Community Bible Study
Mission: We provide community programs that teach children the truths of the Bible knowledge on how to live a life following the example of Jesus
Activities: Kids for Christ Program: This is our largest program in which we serve over 6,000 students k-8th grade both in the fall & spring. We provide a free after-school program that teaches them the truths of the Bible & that they are special & loved by God. We provide a non-denominationa Bible-based curriculum with crafts, music, games & a lesson. We also provide a t-shirt & Bible to each student. We have 62 sites in Souther IL, KY & FL where our program is offered. This program also runs a fre summer camp for 100+ low-income students in Belleville, IL to promote Christian values & positive self-image to those most at risk in our local area. They are set up for school w/ a backpack, supplies, dental cleaning/screening, & services to encourage health & successful school
Feed My Lambs Program: Year-round program supports healthy eating for children. We help offset charge costs for students that are unable to receive the full lunch portion due to insufficient funding. We also partner with local churches to provide sack lunches to students that live in low-income areas. These students receive daily lunches through out the summer delivered to their home area. We also provide much needed support to these families including: backpacks/school supplies, shoes, socks, underwear, family groceries, books, educational supplies & much more. This program ensures healthy living for thousands of local children and their families each year.
