Kidbox Is On A Mission To Outfit Your Kids And Give Back

Between donating lemonade stand profits and spending time with elders, most parents want to teach their children about helping others, but by the time grocery shopping and homework gets done, good intentions can fall by the wayside. Now, teaching kids the importance of giving has gotten a lot more doable with Kidbox. New York-based brand Kidbox, the children’s clothing delivery service, is on a mission to provide children in need with new clothing. Parents can use the service to outfit their kids while engaging them in the company’s mission to give back and start the conversation at an early age.

According to the recent CBS feature, “Kidbox was started with the goal of clothing 1 million children. To date, they’ve provided more than $8.5 million in brand new clothing to kids in need.” Partnered with nonprofit, Delivering Good, donations go to children affected by poverty, tragedy or natural disasters. Kidbox is the leading player in the children’s retail space to include a social component, distinguishing it from the rest. By combining the experiences of getting and giving new clothes, kids are also empowered to make a positive impact, which as any parent knows is priceless.

Kidbox provides a convenient shopping solution for parents who are looking for the latest styles for their kids. They use a custom algorithm to deliver personalized boxes of stylish outfits for boys, girls, and toddlers sizes newborn to 14, all with savings of up to 50%. The traditional Kidbox comes with 6-7 pieces and prices range from $14-16 each, or keep the entire box for $98. There are over 130 top brands featured like 7 For All Mankind, Adidas, Puma, Jessica Simpson, Splendid, DKNY & Aden & Anais. With 5 boxes/year—Spring, Summer, Back-to-School, Fall, and Winter—as well as additional add-ons, parents will be relieved to know that they don’t have to fit shopping into their schedules during the busiest times of year.

Here’s how parents can begin: go to Kidbox’s website and complete the style quiz to personalize your box according to you and your child’s needs and preferences. You’ll input your child’s age and size and customize by choosing their style: Sporty Athletic, Classic Preppy, Modern Casual, or City Cool. You can even specify what your child won’t wear (like stripes, denim, or certain colors), which brands you prefer, and what you need the most of (like school clothes, basic tees, or athletic clothing). The questionnaire asks about your child’s personality—for example, whether they’re a bookworm, chatty, or shy—to put together outfits that speak to them as individuals.

If you decide to keep the entire box, you get to choose the charity Kidbox donates to on your behalf. Each box comes with a surprise gift and note from the CEO and Mom-In-Chief Miki Berardelli. Together with founder, Haim Dabah, they’re both dedicated to giving back–and helping others give back too. Says Berardelli, “I always think about children as they relate to clothing as an expression of their selves, expression of their individuality and giving brand new clothing to these children in need is life changing for them.”

Those inspired by this social component should consider applying to be on the Kids Board of a Directors, a group of kids passionate about social change who get to work on meaningful projects that give back. The company has gone on record with the ambitious goal of clothing 1M children in need. Just by shopping for your kids, you’re helping Kidbox give back to the community.
