Designing Kids Program
The Designing Kids Program supports underprivileged youth up to age 21, including those in foster care and group homes, not only in Poplar Bluff, but also in Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas. The program provides mentoring, stewardship, and supports a wide range of sporting activities by sponsoring shoes, uniforms, and equipment. A crisis network with licensed psychologists is available for those requiring guidance and encouragement. Each year, the program purchases back-to-school items for about 375 children. Additionally, each month, birthday events are held on the grounds of The Bloodworth House. Every Christmas, each child has the opportunity to make a Christmas list, which is fulfilled and presented at the annual Christmas Eve party.
