Kings Community Action Organization extends its deepest gratitude to the many donors, volunteers, and community partners who stepped up during the holiday season to support local families, children, and individuals in need. Thanks to an overwhelming outpouring of generosity, hundreds of families across Kings County experienced a brighter, warmer, and more hopeful holiday.

Each year, Kings Community Action Organization’s Home and Energy Department continues a special tradition by selecting one Head Start classroom to sponsor during the holiday season with the goal of ensuring that every child in the classroom receives a thoughtful gift and feels the warmth of community support.

Each year, from November 1 through December 31, KCAO invites the community to come together for its Community Champion Campaign, a special initiative that doubles the impact of every donation made during the holiday season.

As we reflect on the accomplishments and growth of 2025, Kings Community Action Organization extends its deepest gratitude to our Board of Directors for their leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our mission.
