WGN Radio 720 Neediest Kids Fund
The following are highlights of the fund:
- All contributions directly support the Fund's purpose.
- The Neediest Kids Fund distributed $500,000 in grants for Childhood Hunger and Youth Programs to 25 agencies. These grants helped agencies with their summer and after school child nutrition programs and youth programs that include mentorship/leadership development, stay-in-school programs and job preparation and training sessions.
- We truly value our long-standing relationship with the agencies the Fund supports. In May, 2004, The Neediest Kids Fund awarded a special one-time grant to 26 agencies totaling over $1 million. These capacity-building grants helped agencies improve educational and computer labs by enhancing technology and programming. Some agencies used the money to improve their kitchens and restrooms. Another purchased a van to transport kids to different programs.
