Kids In A Box
Share
Kids In A Box is an annual fundraiser that began in 1999, which benefits McHenry House Tracy Family Shelter.
How it began…
In 1999, a nine-year-old Tracy girl named Rainey Lomolino, borrowed an idea from her cousin to raise funds for the homeless. She camped out overnight in Lincoln Park in a cardboard box, like many homeless. She asked friends, neighbors, family, and businesses to sponsor her, and she raised $9,000, which she gave to McHenry House Tracy Family Shelter—the ONLY family shelter in Tracy. T

Two of the participants, a sister and brother team, had this cool display, as a BBQ food truck and ice cream truck. They had the clever idea to actually sell ice cream bars, for a dollar each, then donate their sales money to McHenry House.
And that’s just what they did!
