Mission: The Mission of Greater Hopes, Inc. is to
tenderly care for and restore human lives.
Through caring adult leadership and organized community service projects
KICKS strives to teach children to value themselves, their family, their community and their world.
Due to funding restraints, we have had to put this program on hold.
Please contact us if you wish to support KICKS with your time or funding.
KICKS*KIDS:
Our first KICKS groups was full of
energetic first through fourth graders at
North Oakview

In
just a few weeks in January 2006, KICKSKIDS made and delivered
over 150 cards, letters, Valentines, and fluffy flowers to residents
at
adult care facilities, teachers, family members and friends!
