Helping Kids Succeed
Truly, Bridge to Success is a critical program, ensuring stop-gap support to families who otherwise would fall through the cracks left by our social support network.
Washington, DC Public Charter Schools
Wow! Thank you so much for getting Michael new glasses! He has been without glasses since June, and it has been difficult for him to read what was written on the blackboard which hindered his ability to fully participate in class. He is so excited to be able to see again! "Wow Look!" I can see all the signs!" Michael exclaimed as we drove back to school. He called out every store, food chain and landmark from Laurel to Landover. Many Thanks!
Prince Georges County Public Schools
The students at the elementary school were so surprised to receive the new jeans from Neediest Kids. The girls' faces lit up with excitement when they found out that the jeans were a donation and that they could have two pairs each. They were appreciative and thankful for the donation.
Washington, DC Public Schools
Welcome to Neediest Kids!
Imagine being a high schooler struggling to master algebra without a calculator, a third grader who has trouble reading the whiteboard, or a middle schooler without a coat who doesn't attend school when the temperature drops. For a quarter of a million students in the DC Metro area, this is their reality.
But with your support, through its Bridge to Success program, Neediest Kids helps at-risk students get the basic essentials they need so they can get the education they deserve. To enable children to stay in school and succeed in school, Neediest Kids provides:
- Eyeglasses
- Coats, clothing, and shoes
- School supplies
- School uniforms
- Personal care items
- Groceries
- School Fees
- Other necessities

Decadent Delights — A Delectable Success
by: Amy Ginsburg on 03/27/2013
Neediest Kids filled the Carnegie Institute of Washington with sweet treats and happy faces on March 10 at the Second Annual Decadent Delights. 250 people indulged in delicious desserts and wine … and neither the calories nor the fat grams counted because it was all to raise funds to help low-income students get the basic essentials they need to succeed in school.
The wonderful pictures provided by Turner Images & Studio capture the sights and smiles of this extraordinary event. And here’s the link to all the photos (good and bad, ugly and pretty) from the event. http://jasonturner.smugmug.com/People/Neediest-Kids-Decadent/28595901_GP4PtZ
