Hike Kidz Foundation works to provide programs, partnerships and campaigns to address crisis in our community, locally. We fundraise and connect through grass roots and we look outside the area to bring resources in. We engage in the community, go into the neighborhoods and into the rooms with the ones that serve. We ask what is needed and are determined to find solutions for our local needs. We are committed to raising awareness and opening doors for volunteers and those in need. We find creative ways to get the word out and to being our community together. We strive for excellence and humbly appreciate the love we have received as a new organization. What we accomplish is through determination, staying true to our mission and keeping it local. Our partnerships, sponsors and donors are our lifeline and the fuel that keeps us burning. Your donations go to the ones that need it the most, this is our commitment.

Love is on the way: "Hold My Heart: The Love Wins Campaign" was created to raise crisis funds for our local students in the most need: The students that suffer from housing insecurities.
​
We have partnered with the Warren County Public School's "Project Hope Team" that acts as our liaison to these students. Together, we created an art piece that these students would participate in, making a way to connect local donors to the ones in the most need.
The heart sponsorships provide a fund for these students throughout the year, making it easier to attend school without barriers.
THE HOLD MY HEART CAMPAIGN
THE GRACE FUND
The Grace Program funds the immediate crisis needs of emergency shelter assistance for parents and families in the winter. This fund makes it possible to keep the child with the parent as Warren County does not have a shelter for children at this time. This is a 48 hour fund available through referrals from the WCPS, Front Royal Police Department, Warren County Sheriffs Department, Churches, and the Department of Social Services. Once the family is able to be moved into one of the local established programs and intake is complete, the Grace Fund is complete.

BOXES OF BASICS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Boxes of Basics works directly with the Hike Kidz Foundation and its local partners in Warren County to help serve the need of basics for the local children most in need. ​​
​
Boxes of Basics provides seasonal clothing to our local children 0-17 experiencing clothing insecurities. In November 2025, together, we delivered 51 boxes through referrals from the Warren County Public schools. ​In January we will deliver the next set of boxes to 100 local children through referrals.
​
​
"We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with the Hike Kidz Foundation to bring Boxes of Basics to the most vulnerable children in need in Front Royal and Warren County.
The Hike Kidz Foundation is already doing amazing work to unburden children and their caretakers by meeting basic needs, and they are continuing to invest in bringing resources to those kids. Together, we’ll make an even greater impact." - Boxes of Basics
"IF I COULD I WOULD"
The "If I could. I would..." program is designed to reach the children and let them know they can dream big, want many things and that when you ask you may receive.
​
We have partnered with many local extra curricular organizations to help provide what may have not been possible. Our community is making it possible for children to thrive that otherwise would not have this opportunity.
​
At our community outreach events we offer forms for the local children and parents to fill out that let us know the dreams and needs to fulfill them. We received our first grant for this program from the local Target.

A-Z School Shopping Experience
Our largest program to date. This program is designed to make sure each child feels they have the same opportunity to shop for choice clothing on the first day of school. We work directly with the Warren County Public School's as well as open the opportunity up to the community to apply. ​
​
In August & September of 2025 we were able to clothe over 250 students with new and choice clothing for the fall school year. Below you can donate to help us do this again for the 2026 school year. ​​
