ABOUT ROY'S KIDS

Roy’s Kids is a non-profit organization based in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of underprivileged children. Founded in 2010 by Michael Sean Powell, Roy’s Kids was established in memory of his late brother, Roy, and inspired by the challenges they faced growing up in a single-parent household. Michael witnessed firsthand the financial struggles his mother endured, working multiple jobs to provide for her two sons. Holidays like Christmas were especially tough, with few gifts and his mother often working to make ends meet.

 

Roy’s Kids was created to ensure that children from single-parent families or low-income households don’t miss out on the joy of Christmas and other essential opportunities throughout the year. What began as a small initiative to provide Christmas presents has grown into a year-round effort that supports children through various programs, including providing school supplies, backpacks, and even bikes.

 

Our organization operates entirely through the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of donors. We connect with families in need, vet their applications, and work with our donors to ensure children receive gifts that meet their specific desires. Whether it’s adopting a family for the holidays, donating supplies, or contributing funds, our community plays a vital role in making the magic happen. Each holiday season, our volunteers handle the shopping, wrapping, and delivering of gifts, ensuring every child feels special and included.

 

At Roy’s Kids, we believe that every child deserves the chance to enjoy their childhood, free from the limitations of financial hardship. We collaborate with other charities and host events throughout the year, aiming to uplift and support children who might otherwise be left out. Together, we’re building brighter futures, one child at a time.

Roy’s Kids is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible. Join us in making a difference today!
