View our NON PROFIT WISH LIST to see how you can help different organizations. It changes monthly.
You may not be able to help the whole world, but you can make a difference in your own community. --Elizabeth P. Carter
See the list below of non-profits that could use more volunteers! We believe strongly in families giving back to their community by volunteering their time and making donations. Families can make a difference in their community without it necessarily being a big time commitment or expense.
We encourage parents to set an example for their children by demonstrating different ways to give, through donating toys and clothes or by helping serve meals during the holidays. You will be teaching your children empathy and compassion. Below are ways parents and kids can give back to our community.
