Agency’s mission statement:
Kicking 4 Hunger is dedicated to bringing the community together for a unified effort to feed the hungry through the game of soccer.
Agency goals and programs:
This organization provides soccer camps to children ages 5-12 completely free of charge. The camps do ask that campers donate non-perishable canned goods, but this request is completely optional. The agency aims to provide a quality, fun, free soccer camp to local youth while simultaneously raising food to feed the hungry in the community.
Impact Agency Has Made:
Kicking 4 Hunger has promoted the game of soccer and living a healthy lifestyle through its camps. Through the can donations, K4H has raised thousands of cans of food in its 5 years. Last summer alone, K4H raised 2,727 cans in 6 days worth of camp.
Volunteer Duties:
- Directing the camps this year by contacting people about field reservations, equipment, t-shirts, newspaper advertisements, etc.
- During the actual camp, coaches will arrive around 7-8am for a 9am start on camp. Camp lasts for three hours, until 12 noon.
- Clean up, load cans, and prepare the facilities for any other events going on that day for at least an hour or so.
- Help count the cans at the end of the week
- Deliver donated cans to the local food bank, the Cooperative Christian Ministries of Concord.
