Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How are you collaborating with similar organizations on a local, regional, or national level
A. Foster children in Pasco County need to have their belongings moved in a dignified manner. Therefore, Loving Our Kids 365, Inc along with Eckerd Connects Raising Hope work together to offer sanitized luggage to displaced and foster children. Loving Our Kids 365, Inc collects and distributes the luggage, along with the sanitation and sterilization process. Eckerd Connects Raising Hope then works along with us to distribute “The Love Cases” to the proper agencies and staff.
Q. How can I make an in-kind or a non-financial contribution?
A. We accepts all donations. Currently, we are looking for journals, pens, puzzles, and duffel bags to supply the foster children with “Heart Packages” These bundles are then placed in each duffel bag to give the displaced child something to distract them from their current situation. It is our hope at Loving Our Kids 365, Inc to bring support to the foster children at a time when traumatized the most. If you would like to give to the foster children, you can contact us at:

Q. Is there anything that you wish more people knew about your organization or the issues you are trying to solve?
A. Loving Our Kids 365 Inc is a small, grassroots nonprofit organization, founded by Eric Alexander and dedicated to his wife Christina Alexander, a former aged-out foster child herself. There is a rarely seen, but emotionally devastating practice befalling the unfortunate foster children in Pasco County, and across America as well.
Children must, unfortunately, be transported at a moment’s notice; leaving agencies to pack children’s clothes and belongings into trash bags. Foster children often equate themselves with this practice, feeling like they are trash no one wants. Loving Our Kids 365 has a plan of action to remedy this terrible disservice to our children. We are doing this by offering an effective solution to the agencies in charge of this regretful duty.
Loving Our Kids 365, Inc is looking to give luggage to Florida’s foster children. Delivering “The Love Cases” to foster children is a service needed throughout Florida. We are a 501. C 3 nonprofit organization serving in both service and educational areas. Receiving a piece of luggage has both a social and psychological benefit for foster child to have dignity, one piece of luggage at a time.
Q. What are our most urgent needs?
A. During our current situation with Covid-19 we are not accepting in- kind donations. Therefore our most urgent needs are monetary donations. Thank you for your support in helping the displaced children in our community.
Q. What goals has Loving Our Kids 365 accomplished to date?
A. Loving Our Kids 365, Inc. has met our goals of processing and distribution of “TLC” cases to foster children. Currently, we have distributed several “The Love Cases” to Eckerd Connects Raising Hope.
Loving Our Kids still has several goals to meet this year. We also want to establish and obtain a distribution center, “LOK 365 Heart Center’s” as well as expand satellite distribution centers into S.W & S.E. Pasco County.
