Introducing Koof’s Kare – A TVH Initiative in Honor of Khaifa B. Peabody
We are honored to introduce Koof’s Kare, a foundation that will be created in loving memory of Khaifa B. Peabody, son of our director, Kate Peabody. Khaifa was the very first volunteer for The Village Hands (TVH), dedicating his time and heart to uplifting others. Khaifa played a vital role in supporting and uplifting our mission. His dedication and encouragement helped shape who we are today, and this program is a tribute to his spirit of service and kindness.
While Koof’s Kare will ultimately focus on multiple critical issues- including gun violence and community empowerment -our first initiative is dedicated to providing essential hygiene products to those in need.
Launching April 12th: Koof’s Kare Hygiene Program
This will be the first of many programs supported by Koof’s Kare. Through this initiative, we will distribute hygiene essentials, including:
✔ Toothpaste & toothbrushes
✔ Deodorant
✔ Soap
✔ And other personal care items
As we prepare for the official launch of Koof’s Kare Foundation, we invite the community to support and spread the word about this first step toward a greater mission. Together, we can honor Khaifa’s legacy by providing care, dignity, and support to those who need it most.
For more information or to contribute, please contact us. Koof’s Kare is coming soon—let’s start making an impact today!
Because of you, we are able to do what we do.

Because of You, We Are.

Safe Kids Pensacola
Special Car Seat Program
The Village Hands is dedicated to supporting families in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. In response to the growing need for car seats to help families safely transport their little ones, we are excited to introduce our Special Car Seat Program. This initiative ensures that children are transported safely in compliance with safety standards.
To receive a car seat, families must meet eligibility requirements and apply through our program. Car seats will be distributed based on availability and need.
Important Note: For safety and liability reasons, The Village Hands only accepts and distributes brand-new car seats.

Recently TVH treasurer Ruth Jenkins and Peabody stopped by the school, one of three to receive the items, as part of the organization’s year-long Project Underwear campaign to provide socks and underwear to area school children in need.
