Homeless Agencies

Some examples of how kids are involved:

• A group of preschool kids helped their mothers plan and serve a meal at a homeless shelter.

• An elementary school class made 'Share Care Bags' with soap, shampoo, combs, and toothbrushes for a women’s shelter. They even enclosed personal notes!

• A Sunday school group collected toys, games, and sports equipment and gave them to children at a homeless center.

• A group of fifth graders had a holiday party for homeless children.

What else can we do?

• Collect items and take them to a shelter.

• Collect change in a container, get it counted, and send a check directly to a homeless agency of your choice.

• Purchase toys during big sales to donate for homeless kids.

• Open a lemonade stand or have a bake sale and give the money to a shelter.

• If you're old enough, volunteer to help at a homeless shelter.

Maybe your family, church group, scout troop, or class could do something to help the homeless! If you have a story to share about how your child has helped the homeless, please share it with The Word FM family!
