Kids R First is an organization of community volunteers   who believe that children are the most important investment of  our future.  Providing kids from families in need with their supplies at the beginning of  each new school year and  mini-scholarships for  College or Career Bound kids  helps to lay a greater foundation for  organizational skills,  academic success with enhanced self esteem  and opportunities for success beyond high school.

Each year Kids R First hosts several fund raising events such as: The Golf Classic, Gift Wrapping, Coins for Kids and Grants.

Kids R First has developed a major partnership with two retailers, Office Depot and Wal-Mart, to purchase school supplies in bulk quantities. In August, 2007 Office Depot and Wal-Mart provided large discounts on supplies to Kids R First  so 14,000 kids in need would have their required list of items when returning to school. 

Office Depot: In 2008 KRF celebrates 10 years of partnering with Office Depot. In the past 4-years, Office Depot Corporate has donated more than 1,500 backpacks. Office Depot seeks to enhance quality of life in the communities in which they operate and to serve humanity by supporting and inspiring involvement with causes that make a profound social impact. They are committed to Caring and Making a Difference, with particular emphasis on "Taking Care of Kids."

Wal Mart: In 2008 Kids R First will celebrate 8 years of sponsorship from Wal-Mart. More information on the Wal-Mart & SAM'S CLUB Foundation can be found at www.walmartfoundation.org.

Northrop Grumman : In 2007 Northrop Grumman showed their commitment to the N.VA community and donated $10,000 to Kids R First. Northrop Grumman is committed through dynamic community partnerships to help address the challenges facing the community and strive to meet the diverse needs of the people of those communities.

USA Today continues to be a major support. Kids R First greatly appreciates their $5K donation at our golf classic to help with school supplies and mini-scholarships for high school students.

The Sallie Mae Fund: a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae®, achieves its mission—to increase access to higher education for America's students—by supporting programs and initiatives that help open doors to higher education and prepare families for their college investment.
