Our Vision

We see a community in which all children and youth are actively encouraged to reach their full potential.

Our Mission

To inspire children and youth to expand their horizons by leveraging funds with trusted partners to provide meaningful adventures.

Who We Are

K.I.D.S. is an outreach ministry of Bend, Oregon’s Trinity Episcopal Church.  Our 501(c)(3) is an all volunteer run organization and all monies received go to serving kids.  

We are partnered with trusted community organizations including:

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon
• Bend Recovery Home (via Facebook page)
• Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY)
• Family Access Network (FAN)
• Grandma’s House
• Cascade Youth and Family Center

Our History

Our program began in the summer of 2008 when we sent 12 at-risk children to week-long camps. In 2020 camps were not offered due to the pandemic. So we began providing local enrichment activities to children served by our partner agencies.

In 2024 we served 250+ kids– more than 200 children with local enrichment activities and 50 with summer camp. Our goal for 2025 is to send at least 40 kids/youth to summer camp and assist with local enrichment as many needful children as possible.

There are many more kids. There are many more young lives to enrich.  We firmly believe that kids inspired DO succeed. 

Help us make the inspiration possible!
