ABOUT OPERATION KID FORWARD

Our Why

Operation Kid Forward was established with one goal in mind – helping our underprivileged youth…

From The Founder

Children don’t ask for the hardships that they face. They don’t willingly choose to miss holidays, sacrifice educational and social milestones, or be exposed to stressors at home…

Our Team

Operation Kid Forward is an all-volunteer organization – meaning every penny donated goes directly to helping our youth…

Operation Kid Forward (OKF) is hosting their second annual “Love Gives” Gala on February 8, 2024 at Savannah Station, from 7-10:30pm. We would be honored if you would consider sponsoring this amazing event through your attendance.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

“The faculty and staff of White Bluff Elementary School would like to send a heartfelt thank you for your generosity. During these uncertain times, your contributions put a smile on not only the student’s faces but the parent’s faces as well. Your generous donations gave the students at White Bluff Elementary School a Christmas to remember. I look forward to partnering with you in the future.”

— Brenda D. Kennedy

Family Engagement Facilitator | White Bluff Elementary School

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Words do not even begin to express the appreciation of your time, effort, energy, and expenses you have put into the kids of Nassau County, Florida. For the past six years, Nisha Giustino, has selflessly donated the most amazing (brand new) toys and clothes for children effected by domestic violence. She ensures each child receives at least two toys they have specifically requested and two full outfits (including shoes). She also ensured they all had brand new winter jackets. As the number of children in shelter continues to grow, so does Nisha’s giving. Not a single child is left out!

From Nassau County, Florida, I want to say thank you for all you do, and just to add…this is not only at Christmas, Nisha donates to these kids throughout the year.”

“Thank you for assisting 8 families, with 17 students in our schools with Christmas assistance. Without you they would not have had the same experience this Holiday season.

Our families have all expressed a great amount of gratitude to you for putting this assistance together.”
