how can your family give back?

THOUGHTFUL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Adopting a family for the Holidays? Feeding the homeless? Serving the elderly? Throwing birthday parties kids at a homeless shelter? Reading to puppies at SPCA? Delivering meals? Leading a donation drive?


Volunteering as a family is a powerful way to build community, spark meaningful conversations, and model compassion in action.


  • Teaching our young ones about homelessness and hunger creates understanding and empathy
  • Teaching our teens about dating violence helps them identify red flags in their own lives
  • Introducing our families to health resources and military efforts creates gratitude
  • Showing our kids about the arts and community give them a perspective outside their bubble
  • Volunteering as a family creates conversation and a shared identity
  • Are you being intentional about how you are spending your time and energy?

LETS COME UP WITH A PLAN

Below are the steps to create a family giving plan—one that keeps everyone committed, intentional, and genuinely excited about giving back.

When picking the right placement for your family, we talk about:


  • Age of kids in family
  • Causes the family feels passionate about
  • Any special talents you want to share?
  • What issues the family wants to learn more about
  • Reoccurring projects vs one-time projects
  • What kind of time commitment works?
  • Timing (week day, weekend, evening, day)
  • Location, safety, ease, convenience, feasibility
  • Impact and outcomes
  • Budget
