What if you could get your kids to like Brussels sprouts? Sorry, we can’t help you with that. But we can help your kids like something that’s even better for them…giving.

Come together as a family to brighten the lives of other families. In our world, young people are the experts. As they discover the joy of giving by volunteering with us, they also learn to appreciate what they have and understand just how valuable their slightly-used and new belongings can be to another child.

See what we accomplished this past November, when local families and companies volunteer with us to help kids in need.

In the C2C Giving Factory, your family might inspect games & puzzles, sort arts & crafts or pack clothing. Families regularly volunteer for two-hour shifts during weekdays, weeknights and weekends. Sign up for a shift in the Giving Factory here.

Looking for other things you can do as a family to help C2C kids? 

  1. Check our calendar for ideas.
  2. Hold a drive in your neighborhood. A great project for families, friends and neighbors to do together.
  3. Drop off your children's unused or gently used items at a drive location near you.
