FOR THE CHILDREN, Bronx
We are bringing direct care and wrap around services to foster children in The Bronx and surrounding areas.
For 30 years, volunteers, churches, businesses, local municipal partners and Royal Family Kids staff have dedicated their time, talent and treasures to help transform the lives of vulnerable children across the US, and world.
​
While RFK has formally overseen our camps and mentoring programs, the breadth of our work has evolved far beyond these two programs. Today we provide direct trauma intervention, advocacy, fostering, adoption, support to parents, and other crucial wraparound services.
While we acknowledged the expansion of our work across our 252 chapters, COVID-19 profoundly increased the needs of children and families. In order to address the systemic issues surrounding child welfare today, our organization responded.
Consequently, as of November 2020, Royal Family KIDS, was officially renamed For The Children. This transition brings clarity to new opportunities, from providing laptops and shoes to needy children, to assisting overburdened social workers, to providing temporary shelter.
The teaching and example of Jesus in caring for “the least of these” remains our motivation. As For The Children, our focus is now on the systemic issues facing children, around the globe.
