How It Works

From donation to distribution.

A transparent path from your gift to a family's hands — the same process whether a gift is $25 or six figures.

  1. Donation received

    Gifts arrive from individuals, families, and corporate partners.

  2. Needs confirmed

    Trina's Kids works with schools and community partners to confirm what's needed, and where.

  3. Resources acquired

    Funds become supplies, toys, meals, and materials at the volume each program requires.

  4. Volunteers prepare

    Volunteers sort, pack, and organize donations for distribution.

  5. Support distributed

    Families and kids receive support directly, at events and through partner organizations.

  6. Results documented

    Trina's Kids records what was distributed to inform the next program and season.

  • When Vince Ricci founded Trina’s Kids Foundation, he chose the name Trina in honor of his mom. What began with something deeply personal grew into a mission much bigger than one family:

To help ensure that no child feels forgotten.

Trina’s Kids serves children impacted by parental substance abuse, poverty, and difficult life circumstances—children who deserve to know that what they have been through does not define what is possible for them.

Through faith, compassion, and community, we provide critical resources, educational opportunities, and joyful experiences that remind every child:

You are loved.
You are valued.
You matter.
And your future can be brighter than your circumstances.

That belief continues to guide every backpack we fill, every meal we provide, and every toy we give.

Today, Trina’s name represents more than the foundation’s origin. It represents a promise we carry into every moment a child feels seen, supported, and remembered.

This is why Trina’s Kids exists.

If this mission speaks to your heart, follow our journey and share our page with someone who should know our story. 🫶🏼
  • For the 11th year, Trina’s Kids Foundation’s Back-to-School Drive brought families, volunteers, partners, and friends together at Hubble to help students step into the new school year feeling prepared, confident, and celebrated.

500+ students. Hundreds of fresh haircuts. Thousands of school supplies. And one community that showed up in a big way.

Backpacks were filled. Hair was cut. Supplies were handed out. But what filled the room went far beyond what could fit inside a backpack.

It was generosity in motion—and a reminder of what can happen when a community decides to show up for its kids.

To every volunteer, donor, partner, barber, and person who helped make the day possible: thank you. ❤️
  • What’s on your school supply list? 
Whatever it is, we’re here to help! 🎒🌷✨
  • The haircut may only last a few weeks, and the backpack may only last a school year. But, the confidence of feeling seen, prepared, and valued can last a lifetime. 🎒

We love you!! 

If you know of a company who has overstock items they can donate, we’re looking for shoes, clothes, makeup, perfume/cologne, etc. Please tag them in the comments below or connect us! 🌷✨
  • Our 11th Annual Back To School Drive will be held on August 9, 2026 at @hubblestudio!🌷
