Our Military Kids recognizes the sacrifice of children of deployed National Guard, deployed Reserve, or post 9/11 combat-injured service members by offering extracurricular activity grants that build the child's self-confidence, enhance family wellness, and strengthen a shared sense of community.
Since 2013, KBP Brands has supported Our Military Kids with a biannual Charity Coupon Drive at KFC restaurants, funding more than 11,000 activity scholarships worth $3.4 million!
Our Military Kids has proudly recognized the service and sacrifice of military children and their families throughout the United States since 2004.
Military families with a service member in the National Guard, the Reserve, or recovering from combat injuries are often not near a military installation so access to support services is limited. During deployments, these families may lose income when their military member is mobilized for duty, temporarily leaving their civilian job to serve our Country. The lack of resources and loss of income is the same for combat injured Veterans in treatment and creates gaps that are hard on families. Our Military Kids fills these gaps with an impactful grant program that pays for their children’s extracurricular activities.
When military service members are injured in service to our country, their families face many changes. They may have to move closer to medical care or change their comfortable routines. Children must often take a back seat while parents deal with more pressing issues related to medical care, financial strains, and other adult responsibilities. Our Military Kids grants ease the financial strain on parents while giving their children the chance to participate in positive activities that will help them laugh, grow, and feel connected to the community.

Make sure your child meets the program requirements. Select your activity and submit your documents.
An award packet with several tokens of appreciation is sent to your child’s home, and will include a check made out to the chosen organization. Your child will also receive a letter letting them know how grateful we are for their sacrifice.
The child participates in the grant activity and has fun doing something they love. Each child also receives a “Thank You” postcard to send to the donor who paid for their grant. This is a great opportunity for the kids to reach out and show their gratitude to the people who support our program.
