Volunteer with your Family this Holiday Season

November 11, 2016 by Cari Gelber

 

The holiday season is coming up, before we all get wrapped up (literally) in shopping for gifts, holiday planning and travel arrangements there are some great opportunities of holiday giving and volunteering for families to take advantage of with their children.

These are some organizations that offer kid-friendly programs and volunteer opportunities:

 

Stockings with Care

Volunteer with your Family this Holiday SeasonDate: Starts mid-November

Volunteer Age: All ages, you do this on your own 

If you are looking to do something at home or on your own with your family, you can sign up to “Be-A-Santa” and receive a wish list with 3 wishes for a New York City child whose family either lives in a homeless shelter or is in danger of being homeless. Take your kids shopping, wrap the gifts then drop them off at Santa’s Workshop where everything will be sorted and prepped for delivery
