Two rules apply for these donations that we share with the community 1) They may not sell any product as we donate the items for free and 2) the products must help their Mission. Partners that kidsPACK supports are Blessing and Hope Food Pantry, Camp Fire Sunshine Council of Central Florida, City of Lakeland Police Athletic League, Dream Center of Lakeland, Faith in Action, One More Child, Mercy & Love Outreach, Parker Street Ministries, Revive Church, St. John Neumann Catholic Church, and The Freedom Tour.
