Opt In for Kids! raises support from Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park residents to give kids in the community access to more afterschool and summer programs and activities. Residents are able to contribute $1, $2, $5 or $10 each quarter on their utility bills, which will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 by United Way (in the first year).
