Our Agency Partners

National Agency Partners

In addition to providing merchandise to individual agencies, K.I.D.S. also partners with national agencies that distribute product to programs throughout the U.S.

Operation Homefront

The ranks of our military woman and men often include the families who are left behind while their loved ones serve. A family that loses the active presence of a parent through separation faces significant challenges and stress. During the parent’s deployment, family members may feel isolated, unsupported and anxious. They may also experience financial stress.

In 2006, K.I.D.S. joined with Operation Homefront to meet the needs of the families fighting for our freedom. Together we provide products to military bases around the country so that parents and children who live courageously on their own will be properly clothed, have gifts to give during the holiday season, receive baby products, and can enjoy something a little special while their loved ones are serving abroad.

Over the past four years, K.I.D.S. has distributed over $10 million worth of merchandise through the Operation Homefront Network to military bases in 18 different states touching nearly 50,000 individuals.

Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation

K.I.D.S. has struck up a strategic partnership with the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation that will use baseball and softball themed programs to teach life lessons to at-risk youth. As part of the year long program dubbed ”Cal Sr.’s KIDS,” K.I.D.S. will donate new apparel and other baseball-themed product to support the foundation’s youth development programs. The partnership will launch with the opening of multipurpose outdoor facilities that are under development in Annapolis and Baltimore, Maryland; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Collier County, Florida; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; and Fredericksburg and Richmond, Virginia.

The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation was established in 2001 by members of the Ripken family in memory of Cal Sr., a major league baseball legend who spent more than 35 years in the Baltimore Orioles organization.
