Project KARE Charitable Program

Project KARE is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, more specifically to address the needs of Children and families served by Stark County Job & Family Services (SCJFS), Children Services Division.
Project KARE is a 501c3 charitable organization that believes every child is special and no child deserves to be denied what other children experience because of the inability of their families to provide a safe and nurturing home. Project KARE believes it is important to recognize these children as we do our very own children - on their birthday, throughout the holiday season, when they return to school in the fall, and when they graduate from high school and college. Requests for assistance are made through a referral from the child's assigned social worker.
In addition, Project KARE supports and recognizes SCJFS foster parents dedicated to caring for Stark County's most vulnerable children.
Mission Statement
Project KARE brings hope, recognition, and support to children in foster and kinship care, ensuring they feel valued and celebrated while recognizing the families who care for them.
Values
Project KARE is dedicated to ensuring that every child feels valued, celebrated, and supported—regardless of their family’s circumstances. We believe no child should be denied the joys of childhood or the milestones of life. Through programs that recognize children on birthdays, holidays, back-to-school, and graduations, we strive to bring hope and encouragement to those served by Stark County Children Services. In addition, we honor and support foster parents and kinship caregivers who open their homes and hearts to the county’s most vulnerable children. While we work closely with Stark County JFS, Project KARE operates as an independent charitable organization, committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of children and families served by Stark County Children Services.
