MEDIA & VILLAGE NEWS
Welcome to the media site for Give Kids The World Village – an 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides children with critical illnesses and their families with magical weeklong wish vacations at no cost. A stay at the Village is much more than a vacation; it's an opportunity for these families to laugh together, play together, and create priceless memories away from hospital stays and medical treatments. We are delighted to share news and resources about the place Where Happiness Inspires Hope, which has helped spread joy to more than 201,000 families from around the world since 1986.
