KBP Cares, one of KBP Brands’ proudest accomplishments, was established in 2015 with the intent of helping employees in times of critical hardship through financial grants. KBP Cares was “years in the making!”
Stephanie Kulp, President of KBP Cares, remembers the night that Mike Kulp, President/CEO of KBP Brands, came home from a work trip and several homeless employees were seeking shelter in one of his stores while they were off work. It was the middle of winter and Mike said that this was one of the many examples where he wanted to ask his boss if they could help these people out, which was easier said than done because situations like this always run into red tape. That night Mike said, “We have to come up with a program, a charity. One that the company can legally help our people in emergency situations!” That was THE MOMENT that sparked KBP Cares. KBP Brands didn’t even exist yet, and it wouldn’t for at least 4 more years.
What you think about, you bring about!
KBP Cares is a Public 501(c)3 Employee Assistance Program that is supported by KBP Brands. This is a program that is available to every employee at KBP Brands the minute they are hired, whether or not they choose to donate. If they endure one of our 4 qualifying circumstances and that circumstance causes them the inability to pay for their necessary living expenses, they then qualify to receive a KBP Cares grant. Their bills will be directly paid by the grant.
