About Coastal Kids:

Coastal Kids Home Care is California's only nonprofit pediatric home healthcare agency whose mission is to meet the unique needs of medically fragile children in the comfort of their homes. Since 2005, our team of nurses, therapists, and social workers have cared for medically fragile infants and children with illness and disability from Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Santa Clara Counties. Although the majority of the agency's patients are from families living at or below the poverty line, we are proud to say that Coastal Kids Home Care has never turned a child or family away for inability to pay—and we never want to. Thanks to our grants, event sponsorships, private donations, and tireless hours from staff, Coastal Kids has provided more than 76,000 in-home visits to more than 9,500 medically fragile children.

About the event:

For the past 7 years, this event has included more than 50 vehicles, food trucks, raffles, music, and more. Children and adults can clamber into a fire engine, explore a bulldozer, and climb behind the wheel of a big rig. They can learn about CPR, build a toy vehicle, and enjoy carnival games all while enjoying tasty treats. The event has grown from a grassroots effort to an eagerly anticipated community event.

Proceeds from TOUCH-A-TRUCK have always benefited Coastal Kids Home Care-- area-only provider of in-home medical, social service, and therapy visits to children living with illness in our community.
