Kenzi's Causes
Mission: To support underprivileged children and their families in Colorado by providing toys, food, and more during the holidays; school supplies and clothing during the school year; and assisting families through community outreach, financial planning and professional support.
Our Causes:
-Kenzi’s Causes Annual Holiday Toy Drive Initiative: Held every year through our Dolls for Daughters® & Toys for Boys® Toy Shop Program. On the first and second Saturdays of December, all throughout the state of Colorado, our Dolls for Daughters® and Toys for Boys® Toy Shops welcome in excited, gratitude-filled families to receive toys for their children who would otherwise go without. Each child is provided with a big toy, small toy, and a wooden toy car at each of our locations.
-The Kenzi’s Kidz Program: Nothing is out of reach when we come together. Established in 2010, Kenzi’s Kidz helps relieve the financial burdens of low-income families who are taking the necessary steps to create a stable environment for their children. Over the course of one year, Kenzi’s Kidz assists in providing the children of these families with fundamental items to succeed: educational supplies, access to extracurricular activities, and gifts for birthdays and holidays. Parents also receive direct assistance through financial planning services: CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) certification courses, car repairs, etc. These services overcome a family’s financial constraints—helping them to increase the long-term stability of their household, and providing essential supplies and outlets for cognitive stimulation that would otherwise be unavailable. These services empower our fellow neighbors in need. Each year, six families in need are welcomed into the program. These families are nominated by one of our nonprofit partners- Warren Village, Hope House of Colorado, Crossroads Safehouse and Joy House.
-Back to School Supply Drive: Every child deserves to step into school feeling prepared and confident. Our donation-driven Back to School Supply Drive ensures that every child in Colorado receives the essential school supplies they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Jessica Bachus, our founder and a former public school teacher, understands the profound impact of not having school supplies. Children without these essentials often feel embarrassed, shy, and insecure compared to their peers. Through our program, children in need receive brand new backpacks filled with grade-specific school supplies. This initiative helps level the playing field, allowing every child to start the school year ready for success. By donating to this cause, you’re investing in a child’s future—a truly priceless contribution. Since its inception in 2015, Packz4Kidz has grown from serving 131 children to reaching many more across Greeley, Avon, Rifle, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and the Denver metro area. Packz4Kidz is impacting more than 7,800 children annually. With this program, a less fortunate child is given a brand new backpack filled with the school supplies specifically needed for their grade level.
