Children Helping Children
We frequently hear from parents who want their children to get involved and help. While privacy and DCF regulations prevent children from direct volunteering, there are still plenty of wonderful ways children can make a difference!
Ideas of How to Get Involved
Donation Drive
They can organize donation drives for essentials from our Wish List like clothes, toys, school supplies, or hygiene items, providing much-needed support to those in our care.
Care Packages
Children can create handmade cards, artwork, or care packages filled with encouraging notes to brighten someone’s day.
Book Drive
Children can collect new or gently used books to help build a library for children in our care, fostering a love for reading.
Lemonade Stand
Hosting lemonade stands, bake sales, or other creative fundraisers is another way children can raise money to help fund programs and activities for the children we serve.
School Supplies
Collecting backpacks filled with school supplies helps prepare our children for success in the classroom.
Holiday Wish List
During the holidays, children can organize toy or gift card drives or put together care packages to make the season brighter for children at WCH.
Activity Kits
Assembling craft or activity kits can provide hours of creative fun and serve as a positive outlet for our children.
These thoughtful gestures, though simple, can have a lasting impact and demonstrate the meaningful difference children can make in the lives of other children.
