| There are many ways that children can reach out and help their community. Some things kids can do include:
Save nickels, dimes and pennies to donate to a charity.
Organize a food drive or volunteer at a soup kitchen or food pantry.
Hold a car wash, raffle, pancake breakfast or bake sale with proceeds benefiting a non-profit organization.
Adopt a shelter as a classroom or a club and provide a steady donation of food, clothes and toiletries.
Help clean a trail or a park (get permission first).
Volunteer at a library.
Cook a meal for a shelter or organization that allows groups to prepare meals.
Collect toys, clothes and books that arent being used anymore and take them to a shelter.
Volunteer at a museum or science center.
Volunteer at a local school or a school in an underprivileged area.
Check with a local retirement home and visit the elderly. At Christmas time, visit and sing carols with a group. |
