Some things you may like to know . . .

Kids Who Care has been in the South Suburbs since 2001. Thousands of kids and seniors have benefited from the program. It was founded by, and continues under the enthusiastic leadership of, Sandy Schramm. Every event is carefully planned, and every event has a responsible adult present.

There are no dues, and very few requirements-- just the application, filled out with a parental signature for students under 18 years old, a signed Code of Conduct, and a readiness to help seniors, have fun and make a difference!

If your child, your class, your youth group or scout troop would like to get involved in a Kids Who Care project, go ahead and call Sandy at 708-283-8150.
