Kermit’s Kare is a community-focused nonprofit organization built around a simple belief: people can accomplish more when they care for one another and work together.
We bring individuals, businesses, charitable organizations and community groups together to support people who may need encouragement, resources, opportunity or a stronger connection to their community.
Our work includes support for youth, at-risk and marginalized individuals, people facing medical struggles and others who can benefit from community-based assistance.
Rather than focusing on only one issue, Kermit’s Kare works to strengthen the community through education, outreach, fundraising, partnerships and service.
Our Mission
Kermit’s Kare raises funds and awareness through donations, fundraising activities and community partnerships.
We work with local businesses, charitable organizations, civic groups and individuals to promote tolerance, acceptance, education and meaningful community support.
Our mission includes helping youth and marginalized individuals, supporting people facing medical struggles, encouraging education and self-expression, strengthening community relationships and connecting people with useful resources and opportunities.
Above all, we believe compassion becomes most powerful when it leads to action.
Our Vision
We envision a community where people have greater access to the resources, relationships and opportunities they need to move forward.
Therefore, we work to promote tolerance and acceptance, provide education and support to at-risk and marginalized individuals, assist people facing difficult circumstances and strengthen the community through service.
We want people to feel welcomed, respected and valued regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, identity, ability or background.
The Values That Guide Us
Empowering Unity
We bring people together across different backgrounds and experiences. Strong communities grow when people work with one another rather than remaining separated from one another.
Inspiring Futures
We support education, creativity, confidence and personal development. Young people especially deserve opportunities that help them discover their abilities and build stronger futures.
Nurturing Communities
Community improvement begins with relationships. Therefore, we encourage neighbors, businesses, organizations and volunteers to share their resources and talents.
Promoting Acceptance
Kermit’s Kare supports a community in which people can participate without fear of exclusion because of who they are.
Supporting People Facing Medical Struggles
Serious illness can create emotional, financial and practical difficulties extending far beyond medical treatment.
Kermit’s Kare works to bring people together around patients, survivors, caregivers and families through fundraising, awareness activities, community recognition and other forms of support as resources allow.
Encouraging Education and Self-Expression
Education, art, music, workshops and creative activities can help people build confidence, form relationships and discover new possibilities.
Why Community Partnerships Matter
Kermit’s Kare cannot accomplish its mission alone.
Local businesses can provide sponsorships, products, services and event locations. Community organizations can provide expertise and resources. Volunteers contribute their time and talents. Donors make programs and events possible.
Together, these relationships allow a relatively small organization to make a much greater difference.
