Each year, students in the club welcome homeless kids from the shelters as well as kids with Downs Syndrome to the school and throw a HOLIDAY PARTY complete with gifts, music, ice cream, and pizza. At the party, club members learn that the only difference between themselves and the kids in the shelter is the lack of housing. Kids 4 Kids and friends also "adopts" homeless families for the holidays. Families who are not homeless are matched with homeless families. At the KIDS 4 KIDS ADOPT A FAMILY DAY, they share pizza, ice cream and good cheer. The families give their adopted family gifts and share a beautiful afternoon. Since 1997, over 300 homeless families and 180 single men and women have been adopted for the holidays.
