In Person: Back-to-School Kits and Hands-On Help

About

Join us at The Open Shelter to assemble back-to-school kits and help with hands-on tasks. Who this In Person Event is for: Ages 6-12. Adult caregivers are required to accompany child participants. Siblings of participants outside this age range are welcome but may find the event to be less meaningful and fulfilling. What you’ll be doing: Back-to-school is around the corner, and we're teaming together to make sure guests of The Open Shelter receive school supplies for their kids. Families will have the opportunity to explore Seeds of Caring's "Imagine If..." book and practice empathy for our currently unhoused neighbors. We will then hear from an Open Shelter staff member, tour the facility, assemble back-to-school kits, and help with other hands-on tasks to support their guests. Specific Instructions: All supplies will be provided. Why you'll be asked to pay a supply fee and donate: On the next page, you'll be asked to pay a fee to offset supply costs for this event. These fees are non-refundable. If you have to cancel your registration later, please know that your fee will go toward our efforts to create more meaningful service-focused programs for kids. Every time we're able to design, coordinate, and offer an opportunity for kids to give back, it's with the help of supporters like you. Please consider making a generous gift to help us continue to empower kids to create a kinder community with their hearts, hands, and minds. We never want supply fees to prevent someone from participating in a Seeds of Caring project. If you would like assistance covering your supply fees, please email programs@seedsofcaring.org and we will register you for free, no questions asked.
