Food Testing
You can earn money for Kids ‘n Kinship by signing up to be a food testers. Food testers are asked to evaluate a small portion of food and give their opinions about the product’s taste or appearance. Each time testers participate in a taste test, they receive $21.00 to $35.00 and their selected organization (we hope Kids ‘n Kinship) is credited with $6.00 to $9.00. Food testers can be anyone ages 18 to 65, without food allergies. The time commitment is generally under an hour for each test. Both day and evening times are offered. Visit www.tasteocracy.com to register. Please notify us if you do, so we recognize the name!
I have been involved in Kids ‘n Kinship for over 5 years now and am currently mentoring my second mentee. This is a great organization to provide role models to kids that are missing that in their life. Thru our weekly visits we normally try to do something outside like biking in the summers and hiking or snowshoeing in the winters. He is a video game guy and normally never leaves the house. School attendance has been an issue for him and one of my goals is to see him graduate from high school. He is currently in the 10th grade.
If it was not for this mentorship program he would still be indoors every day and not in school.
