We’re the Soul Brothers & Sisters, and this holiday season we felt called to do something that brings real joy to families who could use a little extra love.
KiDS NEED MoRE’s Holiday Cheer Bus reaches families who are going through some incredibly tough moments — illness, loss, major life changes… things that can make the holidays feel heavier instead of happy. When we heard how many families needed support this year, we knew we wanted to be part of it.
💛 What we’re doing
We’re packing our bus with gifts, and spending the day delivering surprises, smiles, and genuine connection right to people’s front doors. Every stop matters. Every little moment counts.
🎁 What your donation helps us do
Your support helps us:
- Make sure each child on our route gets a gift chosen just for them
- Include siblings and make the whole household feel special
- Bring a little comfort, food, or warmth into homes where things have been hard
- Support KiDS NEED MoRE so more families across Long Island receive help this season
Everything we raise goes directly into making these visits meaningful.
🌟 Why this matters
The holidays can be complicated. For some families, this program is the one bright spot in a really difficult year. If we can help lift their spirits — even for one afternoon — that feels worth it.
🚍 If you can support our team
We’d appreciate it more than you know. Your donation helps us bring joy, kindness, and MoRE cheer to families who truly need it.
Thank you for helping us make this magic happen.
