A look back at how your generosity made the holidays brighter for hundreds of families across Wyoming, North Carolina, New York, and Maryland
Families Served
Holiday Initiatives
This holiday season was truly special for Kady Cares. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners, we were able to bring joy and relief to hundreds of families facing difficult times. Our three flagship holiday programs – Kady's Toys for Tots, Kady's Cozy Cubs, and Kady's Christmas Table – reached more families than ever before.
Toys Distributed
Children Received Gifts
Our renamed Toys for Tots program (formerly Kat's Care Toys for Tots) distributed over 500 toys to more than 200 children across our four service states. From action figures and dolls to educational games and art supplies, we made sure every child had something special to unwrap on Christmas morning.
What made it special: This year marked our rebranding from Kat's Care to Kady Cares as we work to expand our reach and bring more communities together. The overwhelming response showed us that our mission resonates far and wide.
Winter Coats
Hats & Gloves
Families Kept Warm
Winter can be especially challenging for families struggling financially. Through Kady's Cozy Cubs, we provided warm winter clothing including coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and boots to over 100 families. No child should have to brave the winter cold without proper clothing.
Community impact: Partnering with local schools and community centers, we were able to identify families in need and provide winter essentials discreetly and with dignity.
Complete Meal Boxes
People Fed
Food insecurity doesn't take a holiday. Our Christmas Table program delivered 175 complete holiday meal boxes to families, ensuring that everyone could enjoy a festive meal together. Each box included a full turkey or ham, side dishes, desserts, and all the fixings for a memorable Christmas dinner.
Beyond the meal: For many families, this wasn't just about food – it was about the ability to gather together and celebrate without the stress of wondering how to afford a special meal.
"When I heard about Kat's Care rebranding to Kady Cares, I was excited to see them expand their mission. Last year's Toys for Tots drive gave my kids the Christmas I couldn't afford on my own. This year, knowing they're reaching even more states gives me hope for other families like mine."

"The Cozy Cubs program was a lifesaver. My kids needed winter coats, and I was stressing about how to afford them. Kady Cares not only provided coats but also hats, gloves, and boots. They treated us with such kindness and respect."

None of this would be possible without the incredible support from our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Your generosity changed lives this holiday season.
As we celebrate this year's successes, we're already planning for next year's holiday season. With the rebranding to Kady Cares complete, we're focused on expanding our reach to new cities and states, launching additional programs, and serving even more families in need.
Our goal for 2025 is to double our impact – reaching 600+ families across 6 states with our holiday programs. But we can't do it without you.
