The History of TKBC
The Kids’ Breakfast Club otherwise known as “TKBC” is 17 years old this year. TKBC was founded by Dr. Marlena Uhrik 17 years ago to ensure neighborhood kids and their families did not have access to adequate nutrition and education activities when school was not in session.
The history of TKBC began when Dr. Uhrik volunteered at a local shelter to cook and serve meals for economically disadvantaged people. While cooking and serving meals, Dr. Uhrik observed kids sitting with their parents and eating but not having much to do in between time. As an educator, this piqued Dr. Uhrik’s interest and she started thinking about developing a program with activities that encompassed nutrition, education, and with a strong emphasis on developing the whole family. Such a program, Dr. Uhrik envisioned, would provide healthy breakfasts, reading and math literacy activities, arts and crafts activities, and parent educational activities that would provide good information about available resources for the whole family.
The Mission of TKBC
TKBC works to improve the quality of life for all children and families. TKBC is an organization committed to the empowerment of young children and their families through nutrition, education, positive experiences, and supportive role models. TKBC is a comprehensive program, which assists the development of the whole child and it is designed to facilitate the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of young children and their families.
