Kids Around the World is a nonprofit organization that supports children in vulnerable communities through a model that centers nutrition, safe play, and faith-informed leadership. It provides nutritious meals to children and families, builds playgrounds to give kids space to be kids, and helps local leaders share their stories in ways intended to endure across generations. Based in Rockford, Illinois, the organization was founded in 1994 and works with churches, businesses, and other partners to mobilize volunteers for meal packing and playground construction. As a mid-sized nonprofit, it coordinates a network of collaborators to extend its programs to those in need. In 2022, it announced partnerships to expand meal programs, including a collaboration with Senator International to deliver 270,000 meals.
