Save the Date: Drums of Hope – February 7, 2026 in Miami, FL
Hunger knows no borders, and neither does hope.
On February 7, 2026, It’s 4 the Kids will host the final Drums of Hope event in Miami, Florida, completing a powerful journey years in the making: the delivery of one million meals to children in need.
As of today, 890,000 meals have been sent to communities around the world. With just 110,000 to go, this final event will be a celebration of compassion, collaboration, and commitment to ending child hunger.
What is Drums of Hope?
Drums of Hope isn’t your typical fundraiser. It’s an interactive service event that turns compassion into action, literally.
Volunteers come together to pack and decorate large food drums, each filled with 1,400 servings of shelf-stable meals. These colorful drums aren’t just containers. They’re symbols of love and life-saving nourishment sent to the places that need them most.
Past events have helped children in Haiti and Honduras. The most recent Drums of Hope event packed 100 drums—that’s 140,000 meals—benefiting 10 orphanages in Haiti. Check it out in this video!
Why It Matters
Hunger impacts everything. It’s more than an empty stomach. It’s a barrier to growth, education, and a healthy life. For children, food insecurity leads to:
- Delayed or stunted development
- Increased health complications
- Difficulty focusing and learning in school
At It’s 4 the Kids, we believe no child should go hungry. That’s why we launched the Million Meal Promise and Drums of Hope is one of the most creative, impactful ways we’re keeping that promise.
Help Us Cross the Finish Line
We’re calling on compassionate individuals, businesses, and organizations to help us make this final event the biggest, and boldest, yet.
