Volunteering with the Kids in Litchfield County
Submitted by eliza p on
There are so many wonderful opportunities around the holidays for children to consider people less fortunate than themselves by purchasing food and gifts for those in need. However, it is often more difficult to find places for kids to volunteer their time. In Litchfield County, there are a number of ways for kids to be involved using their physical presence rather than purchased presents.
Retirement communities and nursing homes welcome children and families who wish to volunteer during the holidays. Families can visit, bring cookies and sing carols room to room. All that is needed to set up a visit is a call to the volunteer coordinator. Here is a list of some of the communities that welcome volunteers now and throughout the year. We've also written about opportunities to volunteer in Hartford and Fairfield Counties.
