At The Kind Mouse, we believe that every child deserves to start the day ready to learn—not distracted by hunger.
But for many kids in our community, that’s not the case.
​
They show up to class tired, unfocused, and carrying the weight of an empty tummy. And it’s not because they don’t want to learn—it’s because hunger is holding them back.
​
That’s where we step in.
​
The Kind Mouse works to ensure that children have access to food before the bell rings, so they can walk into their classrooms energized, confident, and ready to succeed.
When kids are hungry, learning takes a back seat.
Hunger affects more than just physical health—it impacts how a child thinks, behaves, and performs in school.
Trouble focusing and staying engaged
Anxiety, irritability, and low confidence
Higher absenteeism
Low test scores and academic delays

Car Credit Encourages Community to Support Childhood Nutrition and Learning Through The Kind Mouse
At Car Credit, we believe that every child deserves more than just the chance to learn—they deserve the nourishment and support that make learning possible. That’s why we proudly encourage our customers, employees, and neighbors to volunteer with The Kind Mouse, a local nonprofit working to combat childhood hunger across Pinellas County.
​
When children come to school hungry, their ability to concentrate, participate, and thrive in the classroom is compromised. Hunger holds them back from reaching their full potential—not because they lack motivation, but because they lack meals.
The Kind Mouse understands that food insecurity is more than an empty pantry—it’s an invisible barrier to a brighter future. Through meal bags, pantry support, and compassion-driven programs, they ensure that children can walk into their classrooms focused, confident, and ready to succeed.
