A future where children are supported to thrive, families are strengthened, and communities are empowered to break cycles of hardship and build brighter tomorrows together.

Meet the Team
Founder
Brittney Washington
In 2019, Brittney recognized a growing need for accessible resources among families within the community where she operated her business. This realization inspired the creation of her second passion project, Kyddie Kares, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving and uplifting children and families in need.
Kyddie Kares was founded to provide essential resources that strengthen families and communities. From distributing backpacks and school supplies during back-to-school season to providing winter coats during the colder months and offering mentorship to aspiring and established entrepreneurs, the organization remains committed to meeting critical needs with compassion and purpose.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kyddie Kares expanded its mission to address childhood hunger, delivering more than 56,000 meals per week to families across the community. This initiative reflects Brittney’s unwavering dedication to ensuring that no child goes without the basic necessities for health, growth, and success.
Whether through providing high-quality childcare experiences, supporting families, or actively engaging in community outreach, Brittney and Kyddie Kares remain steadfast in their mission to create lasting, positive change. When asked about her success, Brittney humbly credits it as a blessing. Her greatest mission is to serve as a positive role model for her children and the many young lives she touches.
Brittney hopes her journey inspires others not only to dream, but to take action — to rise, pursue their purpose, and make a meaningful impact in their communities.
