Create Some Space And Help a Child
We have the ability to accept donations of items from our supporters and sell them on eBay.
The current state of the economy has affected us all. For you we realize that you have more demands on your time and you want your charitable contributions to be used efficiently. For us, we also want and need to maximize our funds and resources in the most efficient way. For the children and families that we serve, many have gone from a bad situation to worse.
Because of this we have decided not to hold our annual fundraising event but rather reach out to you directly for an annual contribution (doing this combined with the fact that we have no overhead or paid staff ensures that 100% of your giving dollar goes to those in need). This is the only time of the year that we directly ask for you for funds – we value you generosity and your time.

Egg hunts and lots of fun….
Because of unbelievable generosity from so many wonderful donors, groups and businesses, this year we were able to host 6 different egg hunts for a total of 2,240 kids (in the communities of Fillmore, Piru, Santa Paula and Oxnard).
Each kid got to “scramble” for ten eggs which contained candy and sometimes included money or toy and gift certificates. Fresh cookies, baked exclusively by National Charity League volunteers were handed out to each child in attendance.
This is our 10th year of providing these hunts and they are hosted by our fantastic volunteers including board members, Girl Scouts, National Charity League, friends and neighbors.
Thank you for your support in making these hunts happen.
You Shop and Help Support For The Kids
Stop in at SOTO, located at 2899 Agoura Road in Westlake Village ( just east of P6 - in the same shopping center) during the months of APRIL AND MAY and shop, shop, shop.... a portion of ALL sales will be donated to Support for the Kids!
A word from Jodi Perlman one of the owners of Soto...
“We are a small boutique store that caters to the communities we are in. Soto is not just about selling clothes, it's about relationships and that is why we do what we do. Pam and I feel very strongly about giving back and we have been doing so since the day we opened our doors. We pick a new charity to support every couple of months and it is our pleasure and our joy to be working with you to help Support For The Kids”
