ForKids, inc. is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Chesapeake, Virginia, dedicated to assisting families and children living in poverty. The organization began as a small family shelter in 1988 and has grown to become one of Virginia's larger organizations addressing poverty-related needs. It provides immediate crisis response along with long-term housing and educational services, and it uses data to drive change in systems that disadvantage low-income families. Its work centers on supporting families and children facing poverty, tackling housing insecurity and educational barriers within the Chesapeake region. The nonprofit has expanded its facilities over time, including establishing a headquarters in the South Norfolk area. In March 2026, ForKids hosted its 25th Annual Art Auction, a community event that reflects ongoing engagement with supporters.
