KiDs Need to be KiDs

Kappa Delta launched its KiDs Need to Be KiDs campaign just days following Hurricane Katrina. The sorority was able to gather thousands of toys, games and other necessities in the weeks that followed. Together we continued to make a difference in the lives of children in need.

The KiDs Need to Be KiDs campaign addresses the emotional needs of young victims. While many other organizations worked to meet the basic needs of victims, Kappa Delta is provided comfort and support to those children whose lives are in chaos.

“We cannot forget these youngest victims,” says Bonnie Purvis Warren, Kappa Delta’s National President and Hattiesburg, Mississippi resident. “I saw firsthand the difference Kappa Deltas made in the lives of children following Hurricane Katrina. Join me in making a difference in the lives of children whose lives have been turned upside down by the devastating floods in the Midwest.”

“This was a natural progression of the sorority’s strong commitment to children in need,” says Melanie Schild, Kappa Delta’s executive director. “A toy or book for a young child can help to boost the spirits of those who have lost everything." Kappa Delta, a long-time supporter of Prevent Child Abuse America, sees this campaign as a way to combat stress and strengthen families.
