Kiducation - Community Crusade for Children, Inc.

What is Kiducation?

Kiducation is a trademark of Community Crusade for Children, a non-profit, clothing recycling organization that was formed in 1996. We are registered with the State's Attorney's Office and we are recognized by the the United Federal Government's Dept. of Internal Revenue Services as a 501(C)3 Tax Exempt organization. We are a self-sufficient organization and receive no outside funding or grants. Our funds are generated by the people in the community that donate adult and children's clothing and shoes. A portion generated from the sales is returned to the participating towns, schools and other organizations or charities. Our goal is to help improve the education of children. Community Crusade for Children, Inc. makes financial contributions to existing centers of learning such as children's schools, libraries, day care centers, summer camps as well as other educational programs.

How Does It Work?

Local property owners and towns allow us to place our donation containers on their premises, which anyone can use to drop off donations. Our trucks are on the road 6 days a week picking up clothing. We pride ourselves in keeping the area around the container clean and tidy. In case there is dumped trash around the container, we will promptly remove the unwanted items.

“I would like to thank Community Crusade for Children, Inc. for working with Global Aid Network to impact the most vulnerable people in countries around the world. Without organizations like yours, we would not be able to provide the much needed aid to help provide hope, improve health and many times, save lives.”

Scott Hendrix, Vice President - Relief and Development

We need your help!

Many of us have closets with old and unused clothing just waiting to be donated and put to good use. The world we live in today is more conscious then ever. We have a planet to protect and we can’t just throw things away that could be reused and recycled. This is why we encourage you to aid us in our cause by making donations of clothing and shoes. This is done in one of our many containers located near you. The containers are always available to accept your donations day and night.

Placing A Bin

Do you have a property that gets lots of foot traffic or lots of drive by traffic? We always have new bins looking for homes and we need your help. Call us today to find out about the tax deduction you can take and how you can help your community. This is done by sponsoring one of our bins to collect clothing. We take care of the whole process from start to finish. It is our promise to those that generously donate the space to place a bin, that we in turn will keep the area clean and orderly.
