About Making Kids Count
Making Kids Count, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that believes every child deserves to feel special, regardless of circumstances. Their mission is to make the lives of children and their families a little brighter by focusing on their individual needs. Their programs bring positive emotional experiences to children and their families by supporting everyday needs, boosting confidence, and lifting spirits. They continue to expand each year to reach as many people as possible.
In July of 2010 their founder, Jenny Kennedy, started Making Kids Count with the help of her daughter Shelly Marlowe, and daughter-in-law Jana Coffin. The three of them drafted a broad mission to allow the organization to expand, as the community needed it. Making Kids Count’s first program were monthly birthday parties for families currently living at the Youngstown and Warren Beatitude Houses. Due to the nature of many of the mother’s situations, these children would ordinarily not experience the typically birthday party that we all think of and Making Kids Count wanted to make that happen. In the 6 short years they’ve been operating, they have expanded from monthly birthday parties reaching approximately 60 people a year; to over 15 programs reaching over 4,000 people a year.
Their programs now reach throughout Mahoning, Columbiana, Trumbull, Portage and Ashtabula counties. They provide Hope Totes to children recently diagnosed with cancer at Akron Children’s Hospital, offer tutoring and art programs at local schools, and provide Comfort Kits to children entering foster care, local government funded agencies providing over 11,000 diapers a month, and much more!
