Send a Friend was conceived from a burden on the hearts of two men, Fred Caserta and his friend John Mika. Fred Caserta, the founder and President of Kingdom Bound Ministries, has moved on to live with the Lord in heaven, but the vision continues to grow.

To encourage and work along side local community organizations by providing funding and/or materials for various programs that fall within the mission of the Send A Friend Program. These groups can, in turn, designate their own limited funds for critical needs within their organizations.

We accomplish our mission and vision within the WNY community through the following:

“Send a Friend School Supplies” (Formerly WNY Shares)

Established in 2002, it is estimated that well over 1 million dollars in donated computers, copy machines, office furniture, pens, pencils, notebooks, paper, etc. have been channeled to schools and after school programs throughout the WNY community through the “Send a Friend School Supplies” program.

“Send a Friend to Kingdom Bound”
Established in 2003, the “Send a Friend to Kingdom Bound” program has enabled over 2500 underprivileged and disabled youth and families to attend a day at Six Flags Darien Lake that includes activities designed specifically for them.

“Send a Friend a Christmas Present”

Established in 2003, the “Send a Friend a Christmas Present” program, in cooperation with Troopers Toys for Tots and others, has delivered over 10,000 toys to disabled and underprivileged children throughout the WNY community. For Christmas 2006 Send A Friend was able to underwrite the cost for 3500 toys.
