How We Give Back
We here at CKC are committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of underprivileged children and families. By choosing to engage with our recipes and returning to our website, you’re actively contributing to this noble cause.
In November 2022, Create Kids Club took a proactive step to address the pressing issue of childhood poverty, particularly in a local elementary school where the poverty rate stands at a staggering 90%. We joined forces with this school to establish an on-site food pantry, ensuring that children and their families have access to essential nourishment.
What sets us apart as experts in this field is not just our knowledge of food and nutrition but also our tangible dedication to social responsibility. A portion of the proceeds generated from our website goes directly into sustaining this food pantry, which serves as a lifeline for families facing food insecurity.
We invite you to stand with us and be a part of this transformative journey. Your continued support enables us to bring positive change to the lives of those in need. Thank you for being a vital part of our mission to make a difference in the community.
