Volunteers will create craft bags that will be distributed to children in shelters and those served by the programs of My Sister's Place. Volunteers will create and decorate the bags, fill them with crayons and coloring pages containing holiday themed items. This project is held in partnership with WJCS services.
Volunteers are asked to bring at least TWO boxes of brand new 8-pack crayons to be added to the craft bags.
*This is a family-only project for youth 5 and over with an adult. To sign up, please choose the "Sign up with a Team". Thanks!
Why families only? The goal of this project is to engage our youth and begin a dialogue about hunger and others’ needs in our community and empower them to take further action.
Volunteer New York! offers many projects open to individuals and you can view them at www.volunteernewyork.org/mlk
About My Sister's Place: My Sisters’ Place strives to engage each member of society in our work to end domestic violence, so that all relationships can embrace the principles of respect, equality, and peacefulness. We advance this mission with direct services, advocacy and community education.
Through direct services, we support victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and human trafficking, in seeking safety, self-determination, and justice. Through advocacy, we act as a force for social change in law and public policy. Through community education, we challenge public perceptions of intimate violence and the social inequities that give rise to it, and we promote prevention with a special emphasis on youth.
