Improving the lives of our community’s children and families in need.

St. Louis has one of the nation's highest child poverty rates. Recent data according to the US Census Bureau shows that nearly 40% of children in St. Louis live below the federal poverty line, ranking our community among the 20 worst nationally.

Our mission is two-fold:

  • Charity - We work to improve the lives of children in need through clothing drives, Christmas Adoptions, and fundraiser events. Dalton’s Kids Foundation strives to meet the needs of our community’s children and promote their well-being.

  • Child Advocacy - Dalton’s Kids Foundation works with other local charities, such as Ronald McDonald House, Humanitri, Wigs for Kids and Great Circle, to donate time, money and to alert the public about issues facing children in our community. 

Transforming Lives One Child at a Time

Welcome to Dalton’s Kids Foundation - a beacon of hope for the youngest members of our community. We believe that every child and family deserve a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is to uplift, support, and nurture the potential within each child, paving the way for a brighter and more promising future.

When you donate to, or volunteer with our foundation, you become a catalyst for change, making a profound impact on the lives of vulnerable children. By joining hands with us, you contribute to creating a strong foundation for these young souls, inspiring them to dream big and reach for the stars.

Join us on this incredible journey of making a difference in the lives of the next generation. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will be the key to unlocking a brighter future for our kids. Together, let's create a world where every child's laughter echoes with the sound of hope and limitless possibilities.
