"KidSafe helps create a safe school environment where children are protected, supported and nourished. KidSafe helps create an environment where children can thrive and their hopes and dreams can come true one day. KidSafe helps children develop the skills and tools that will prevent them from ending up living a life of despair and pain like so many of the people I have met in my 26 years as a police officer. So I know I speak for all the members of the Vancouver Police Department when I say we applaud your efforts and the work you do every day to help and support children in our schools. Thank you!”
– Inspector Scott Thompson, VPD Youth Services Division
“KidSafe is part of the prevention pillar of the Four Pillars program that is so essential for a safe, healthy city for all our citizens. The volunteer and community effort that KidSafe puts into giving these kids a hand up in their difficult lives sets a standard for other program like this in our city. I am proud to be a supporter.”
– Peter Ladner
“Our family has been giving to KidSafe since 1996. At-risk children need KidSafe to be there for them. KidSafe staff and volunteers earn our ongoing support through their earnest and caring work with the children. By giving to KidSafe, contributors help at-risk children reach their teen years as strong, happy, secure and optimistic individuals with the desire and awareness to make wise choices about their futures. Any gift to KidSafe is an investment in the lives of these youth and in the future of our community.”
– Helena and Steve Lang
