Between Friends offers children, youth and adults a variety of programs that remove the barriers of isolation and truly function as the building blocks of friendship.

BREAKING: 12 tons of Kit Kats have been “mysteriously” stolen

Authorities are still searching… but we may have a lead.

Our mascot Kit has been suspiciously quiet

When asked for comment, Kit simply said:
“Have a break.”

In completely unrelated news…
ALL kids attending Between Friends camp this summer will be getting FREE Kit Kats

We’re not saying it’s connected… but we’re also not not saying that.
