Opportunity Details

2014-2019 Gift Drive for Children

Friends of Karen | http://www.friendsofkaren.org
The mission of Friends of Karen is to provide emotional, financial and advocacy support to children with a life-threatening illness and their families. As a part of this effort, Friends of Karen recruits local volunteers who can help organize material drives in their communities. One of these efforts is our Holiday Family Adoption. We are looking for families who are willing to team up to fulfill the wish lists of our special children.
 

 Below are just a few examples on how you can help during the holidays.

  • Easter & Passover Project – This Spring collect grocery gift cards to Pathmark, A&P, ShopRite and Stop & Shop so our families may have a special holiday meal.
  • Birthday Program – Collect items for our birthday toy pantry. Call for wish list of gifts.
  • Thanksgiving Baskets – Put together a basket of Thanksgiving food and a $20 A&P, Food Emporium, Stop & Shop or ShopRite gift certificate for the turkey.  Call for details in October.
  • Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program – Fulfill the wish lists of our special children – call for information in October. (We also need AA & AAA batteries, gift wrap, bows, tape & holiday candy.)
For more information call Denise Tredwell, Volunteer Coordinator at 914-617-4052 or DeniseTredwell@friendsofkaren.org.
