It is truly a dark time in a child’s life when they are separated from their parents, even under the best of circumstances.  Kids Restart tries to shine a little light into the lives of children during this dark time in their lives by providing safe, secure, visitation, which includes structured activities designed to build, strengthen, and maintain child-parent bonds and develop positive parental skills.

About Us

 

Kids Restart is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Augusta, Georgia. Our major objective is to assist in stopping the cycle of neglect and abuse against the children of Richmond, Burke and Columbia Counties.  Our primary mission is to provide supervised visitation program for children in foster care or shelters.  Most of the referrals we receive are from Richmond County Department of Family and Children Services.  We have provided supervised visitation for Burke and Columbia counties as well. We are funded in part through Providing Safe and Stable Families, Community Foundation for the CSRA, and the Community Development Block Grant Program.

Donations

Kids Restart receives approximately 70% of our funding through grants for which we compete each year.  Our primary sources for this funding includes Providing Safe and Stable Families and Community Development Block Grant.  We were also very fortunate to receive a grant from The Community Foundation of the CSRA.  The remainder of our funding comes from direct community support through donations and participation or sponsorship in our annual fundraising events. 

             Kids Restart depends on your generosity to keep our doors open!

Please donate to Kids Restart today.  With your help, Kids Restart will continue to serve children and their families in an effort to stop the cycle of abuse and neglect.  You can make a difference!
