Fox 4 Love Fund for Children
The Fox 4 Love Fund for Children elevates public awareness and funds good and services for children in need, age 18
and under, when there is an inability to receive funding from other sources. In 2005 the Love Fund continued to grow.
Goods and services were funded and special events arranged for over 4,000 children. The Love Fund supports the
self-worth of every child in a variety of ways. The Fox 4 Love Fund for Children was established to improve the
quality of life for children, 18 and under, in need in the Greater Kansas City area, Missouri and Kansas.
From clothing to sexual abuse counseling, durable medical equipment and school supplies; the Love Fund is there to
help. The organization works directly with social service agencies, churches and public assistance programs.
