Give A Kid A Chance is a program designed to start the school year out on the right foot for children in need in Cherokee County. 

Close to 40 organizations (churches, businesses, ministries and civic groups) work together to provide backpacks and school supplies for each elementary, middle and high school student who has been preregistered with Give a Kid a Chance. The event will be held in two locations in 2010, with details to come later.

Last year we served 2,500 and expect 3,500 to 4,000 in 2010!  We've grown so much since our beginning in 2006, when we helped 100 students and their families.

The services we offer our guests include vision, hearing, dental and chiropractic screenings, and haircuts. Each family can shop from a collection of like-new clothing, and enjoy a fresh meal. All events and supplies are provided at no charge for the registered students and immediate family.  A voucher must be presented to receive a backpack and school supplies.

Vaccinations will be available as well. If we are successful in winning the grant, we want to give each child a new pair of jeans and tennis shoes!

Here's how you can help! We need of donations of new socks and underwear, adult and children's sizes. Filled backpacks are needed, as well as gently used, school appropriate clothing. We also need volunteers, especially those who have medical expertise and can help in the screening rooms.  See how you can be involved by e-mailing Candi Hannigan at
