This holiday season, our hearts are full—and our sleigh is ready! Thanks to generous friends like you, Kids First of the Carolinas is able to share food, warm clothing, toys, and plenty of cheer with children and families who need a little extra magic. Your gift helps us spread hope and joy even further across our community.

You can make a secure donation using the link below. You’re also welcome to give in memory of our beloved Founder and Volunteer Director, Sharon Sanders, whose spirit of love and service still lights our way. More than 37 years ago, Sharon started Kids First with a simple vision: lift up local kids. Today, that legacy lives on through every supporter, volunteer, and partner.

For over three decades, we’ve teamed up with hundreds of local businesses and thousands of volunteers to raise awareness, deliver critical resources, and support families across Charlotte and Union County. When our community links arms, big things happen—and little hearts feel seen.

Thank you for being part of the Kids First family. We’re deeply grateful for your support and partnership. Wishing you peace, health, and a season filled with joy!
