The Just 4 Kids Foundation was formed in 2008 by the owners of Calvert & Froelich Memorial Homes, Minonk and Toluca with the initial $5000.00 startup money. We have formed an alliance with the Five Point Parish Methodist Church, Minonk to make the foundation a non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide school supplies to students that are in need of assistance in the Fieldcrest School District.

                                    The program is based off the schools free/reduced lunch program or anyone that qualifies. In our first year of providing backpacks with school supplies to the kids we are proud to say that 188 backpacks and supplies were handed out at registration to kids up to 5th grade. The average cost per child supplied was $27.10. The need was 300 backpacks & supplies up to High School age students. Our goal is to provide all students but, we did not have the necessary funding to help all the students.

                                    We are asking local businesses to help keep the foundation going by making a tax-deductible donation. You can also help in other ways by simply getting our name and purpose out to the public to help increase awareness of the foundation. We are always looking for help with fundraising and new ideas or volunteers. We are currently in need of a group of local people to be on the board and help with fund raising and projects to keep the foundation going
