About the Founder
What Led Me Here
Throughout my life, I have witnessed firsthand how children's needs often go unmet even in spaces designed to support families.
Church Leadership
While serving in church leadership roles, I saw children struggling silently with hunger, lack of hygiene, and unmet emotional needs.
PTO Boards
As a member of PTO boards, I observed families doing their best but still falling short due to limited resources, unexpected hardships, or systemic gaps.
Motherhood
As a mother raising my own children and interacting with countless families, I gained a deep understanding of how quickly a family's situation can change.
These experiences made one thing clear:
"There was a need for compassionate, consistent support and I felt called to help fill that gap."
A Vision Rooted in Experience
My Vision
The work of Kimberley Kares is personal. It is informed by what I have seen, what I have lived, and what I know children need to thrive.
My vision is simple but powerful: healthy children, supported families, and stronger communities.
A Personal Note
Thank you for learning more about my journey and the heart behind Kimberley Kares Foundation. Every act of support helps us continue this important work ensuring children feel seen, supported, and valued.
Together, we can turn compassion into action and hope into lasting change.
