KIND HEARTS FOR YOU

is a growing community of volunteers dedicated to empowering families and engaging children whose families have become vulnerable by being exposed to limited resources, poor health, and a lack of safety. We provide healthy food and essential personal hygiene items to those families. We launch campaigns, fundraisers and educational workshops that teach both children and parents how to make healthier food options on a budget.

About Us

KHFY is dedicated to making a positive difference in people’s lives. We quickly learned that, by working together and building a strong team, we are able to accomplish more and make a tremendous impact in the community. Kind Hearts cares for children, strengthens families, and serves local communities. We accomplish this through community outreach and a vibrant team of volunteers who serve local residents. Our young volunteers are also invited to partake in our regular events. While they may not be in need themselves, they can see and hear the different circumstances and struggles the community members they are helping have endured, and this can be humbling. Similarly, the team created an opportunity for the entire family, where parents and kids learn to see each other outside of their typical role. Volunteering as a family allows family members to build values together. It’s the perfect opportunity for parents to teach life skills to their children, all while providing substantial support to their community.

What We Do

By directing a strong network of people, our team is able to deliver Acts Of Kindness campaigns, where we support a group of people and their specific needs, in addition to guaranteeing an ecosystem that creates bridges between donors, volunteers, and families with special needs. By delivering grocery bags to families in need on a weekly basis, our goal is to contribute to healthier and safer environments for children of surrounding communities.

kids table

Kids’ Table: Learning Through Food & Creativity

In partnership with Sabrina Pacheco, ECE (Early Childhood Education)
At select distribution sites, we create a dedicated space where children learn through play. Using fruits and vegetables, they explore colors, shapes, and textures while discovering how different foods support their bodies, like orange and yellow foods for vision, red for heart health, and green for strength and energy.
We also support their learning beyond these moments by providing children’s books, backpacks, and school supplies at the start of each school year.

Growing Together: Composting & Planting

In partnership with Sabrina Pacheco, ECE (Early Childhood Education)
Through storytelling and hands-on activities, children learn how food scraps can be transformed into nutrients that help plants grow. Each child plants and takes home their own seedling, learning how to care for it and watching it grow over time—encouraging responsibility and a connection to nature.

Where we serve

Along with providing assistance to individuals and families, we are making a positive impact in the lives of countless individuals and families in San Mateo, San Jose, Sunnyvale, and San Martin, as well as shelters. One of the main focus areas of Kind Hearts For You is family support for those who are experiencing difficulties providing for their families. In addition, We support and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to housing services. They provide prevention, outreach, shelter, interim, and permanent housing programming for individuals who are housing insecure or unhoused in the Bay Area of California. The shelters have a difficult work ending homelessness by providing a full spectrum of services to help people find a home, improve their lives, and stay housed. We want to be a part of this beautiful mission and help by providing healthy groceries to add to their daily meals and give them the opportunity of turning their lives around.

We know that fruits and vegetables are the cornerstones of a healthy and varied diet. They provide the human body with an abundance of nutrients, strengthen immune systems and help lower risks for a number of diseases. Overall, Kind Hearts For You is a dedicated organization that works tirelessly to improve the lives of those in need.
