Building a More Caring and Connected Community
Kermit’s Kare brings people, businesses, and community organizations together to support youth, at-risk and marginalized individuals, and people facing medical struggles.
Through community service, education, fundraising, and meaningful partnerships, we help turn compassion into action throughout Toledo and Northwest Ohio.
Compassion, Acceptance and Community Action
Kermit’s Kare raises funds, builds awareness, and brings people together to support youth, at-risk and marginalized individuals, and people facing medical struggles.
Through partnerships with local businesses, charitable organizations, and civic groups, we promote tolerance, acceptance, education, community connection, and practical assistance—regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, identity, or background.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel welcomed, valued, and supported. Therefore, our programs connect people with encouragement, community resources, and opportunities for growth.
How Kermit’s Kare Serves the Community
Our work responds to several connected community needs. Although individual programs may change as resources become available, every initiative reflects our commitment to compassion, inclusion, and practical support.
Helping People Facing Medical Struggles
A serious diagnosis can affect a person’s health, finances, relationships, and emotional well-being. Kermit’s Kare organizes awareness events, fundraising activities, and community support for people facing cancer and other medical challenges.
Inspiring Brighter Futures
We support educational assistance, school-supply drives, workshops, scouting activities, creative programs, and other opportunities that help young people learn and grow.
Community Outreach
Community events and service projects encourage neighbors to meet, volunteer, share experiences, and work together toward common goals.
LGBTQ+ Support
Kermit’s Kare works with organizations, businesses, and community members that promote LGBTQ+ acceptance, visibility, safety, and meaningful participation.
Mental-Health Awareness
We support responsible mental-health and suicide-prevention awareness while encouraging people to seek assistance from qualified professionals and established organizations.
Arts and Self-Expression
Music, art, performance, and creative workshops can help people build confidence, form relationships, and express their experiences.
Supporting People Through Medical Struggles
Illness can create challenges that reach far beyond medical treatment. Patients and families may also experience transportation problems, lost income, emotional stress, caregiving responsibilities, and social isolation.
Kermit’s Kare helps build a community of care around people facing these challenges. Depending on available resources and partnerships, our work may include awareness campaigns, fundraising events, donated assistance, resource-sharing, and community recognition.
Our goal is not to replace professional healthcare. Instead, we help people feel seen, supported, and connected during difficult periods.
Supporting the Whole Person
Medical struggles can affect emotional well-being, family relationships, transportation, employment, housing, and daily responsibilities. Community support can help people feel less alone.
Cancer Survivors & Fighters Celebration
Kermit’s Kare invites the community to honor people receiving cancer treatment and celebrate those who have survived it.
Although Amy’s five-year breast-cancer survivorship helped inspire this celebration, the event recognizes everyone affected by cancer—including patients, survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and those honoring someone’s memory.
Saturday, September 26, 2026
3:00–8:00 p.m.
Casey’s Toledo
5534 Secor Road
Toledo, Ohio 43623
The celebration will include prize squares, donated prizes, community recognition, and special recognition of Amy’s five-year survivorship milestone.
