🎄Consider Donating To Our 33rd-Annual Clark’s Christmas Kids Program

Clark is proud to work with the Georgia foster care system and Walmart on the 33rd-annual Clark’s Christmas Kids.

The program’s mission is to make sure every child in the foster care system gets at least one present on Christmas.

“These kids are not with their families. They have not done anything wrong. But the adults in their lives have not been able to take care of them for whatever reason,” Clark says.

“Christmas is just such a time of joy and in some sense predictability. These kids have no predictability. They move from foster home to foster home with a black plastic trash bag. I mean, imagine that.

“I want these kids to know somebody loves them. Somebody cares about them”

To consider getting involved, or to simply learn more about what Clark is doing, visit clarkschristmaskids.com.

Some things to note:

  • You can donate cash or shop virtually for specific children.

  • You can view each child’s name, age, gender and see a list of up to three items they want for Christmas, including prices.

  • Donations are tax-deductible, although Clark mentioned that’s not something he likes to emphasize.

“A lot of these kids in foster care get nothing Christmas morning except for you stepping forward and being a generous soul,” Clark says.
