Check with local businesses for support. Many businesses will donate materials, expertise, and even employees to help with volunteer programs and projects. Create cards to distribute to a retirement home, veterans center, children's hospital, geriatric wing at your local hospital, hospice, etc. Cards do not need to be centered on a holiday. Cards can be hand delivered by students when appropriate, mailed, or an educator or volunteer may deliver cards in bulk to the chosen institution.
Students look for a way they can help a friend or family member.
They should pick something that they can complete safely by themselves or with supervision. Projects might include cleaning something, helping in the yard, washing the car, helping an adult in the kitchen etc. Students can then share what they did through drawing a picture or other presentation. Deliver flowers to a retirement facility, hospice or hospital. Or make tissue paper or construction paper flowers for this project.
