Help Our Kids, Inc.

HelpOurKids, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) registered organization serving the needs of children in foster care in the Springfield, MA area.

A huge THANK YOU to EDEN BodyWorks] for their donation of 102 bottles of shampoo AND conditioner for kids in foster care. They responded immediately to our request and had the products to us within a week so we could distribute.

Often kids come into care with little to no resources, especially toiletries. This donation allows us to continue to ease their transition into care and help keep a sense of normalcy and cleanliness in a difficult time.

Please go follow EDEN BodyWorks] and support their amazingly generous company by picking up their products!
