RACHEL'S KIDS INC.
The goal of Rachel’s Kids Inc. is to provide opportunities and improved quality of life for those children who live in the inner city neighborhoods of Memphis. The sole focus of our effort is directed towards the children of the Binghampton section near Midtown Memphis. A secondary goal is to develop professional, effective, and innovative grass-roots philanthropic leadership around the city.
We have gone beyond saying love your neighbor; we have found a way to show them.
Rachel's Kids has embraced the vision of former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, who expresses our vision of Rachel’s Kids, "that every kid needs a relationship with a caring adult, safe places to meet, a healthy start, a place to develop marketable skills, and an opportunity to serve others".

Written by Nancy Sneed (Clarksville Montgomery County Schools)
Today we're making something,
Though it takes a long, time long time
We're concocting a future
Theirs, yours, and mine
Ingredients by the dozen
Of every conceivable kind
Education is expensive
But invaluable is a good mind
Many cooks are needed
To add and stir and bake
For the outcome of this produce
We do not over rate
Boys and girls are molded
Not like gelatin
But throught homes, schools, and churches
Into young women and men
By joining us in the kitchen
You've committed to do your part
By contributing time and money
To give our kids a good start
When they leave our kitchen
To stand on their own in this world
We want to know we did our best
For every girl and boy
And on this concept I stand
It's easier to build a boy
Than it is to repair a man
So lets just keep on cooking
The village raising the child
For the child will manage the village
In just a little while.
