“Our Mission is to provide SUPPORT, RELIEF & HOPE in times of critical hardship through grants to employees within the KBP Brands family.”
In April 2016, I took over as President of KBP Cares. As I have been finding my way within this public 501(c)3 charity of ours, I realize that our “Mission” within KBP Cares is to “provide Support, Relief, and Hope.” I believe that these three words matter within KBP Cares. When emergencies occur, having support is essential. In 2016, KBP Cares hired their first dedicated Advocate to support our KBP families when they submitted an application. I know on this side of KBP Cares, our Advocate was essential and feedback we received mirrored that thought.
Relief is the feeling someone is able to experience when they are told that KBP Cares will pay their rent for a month or two because the hardship they experienced caused them to spend their rent money elsewhere. We hear the “relief” on the other end of the phone line. HOPE is the goal! There is light on the other side of the tunnel.”
