Our Vision:
At Blue Water Wish for Kids, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued, and every family deserves the opportunity to move forward through challenges with dignity and hope.
Our vision is rooted in the belief that support should help families regain stability, strengthen their household, and take steps toward independence. We walk alongside families during difficult seasons, offering practical support, encouragement, and community connection designed to meet immediate needs while helping families move toward long-term stability through both seasonal and year-round programs.
What We Believe
Children deserve safety, care, and opportunity
Families are stronger when communities show up
Compassion and responsibility can exist together
Help should restore dignity, not create dependence
Long-term impact starts with local relationships
A Faith-Guided Foundation
As a faith-based grassroots organization, our work is guided by the call to love our neighbors through action. Our faith shapes how we serve - with humility, integrity, and compassion- and reminds us that caring for children and families is both a responsibility and a privilege.
Service, not recognition, is at the heart of what we do.
Our Commitment
From A Wish for Christmas, which has supported thousands of children since 2013, to our expanding year-round programs, our commitment remains the same:
To serve families with care
To protect dignity and privacy
To strengthen stability
To remain rooted in our local community
Our Prayer
That we would continue to be faithful stewards of the families entrusted to us, and that our community would always be a place where children are protected, families are supported, and hope is shared.
