Family Volunteer Day, a Points of Light signature day of service, demonstrates and celebrates the power of families who volunteer together, supporting their neighborhoods, communities and the world. For more than two decades, Family Volunteer Day has been held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving to "kick off" the holiday season with giving and service.
Family Volunteer Day takes place on November 22, 2014 and is being powered by generationOn and sponsored by Disney Friends for Change, a global initiative that inspires kids and families to take action to help people, communities and the planet.
This year, RADical Readers and Shawna's House Inc. have collaborated to organize The Big Give, a family community service project and an opportunity for members of the community to work together raising goods for those in need on Family Volunteer Day. Our areas of focus this year are:
- Food - Thanksgiving Dinner Kits (Northern Children's Services)
- Coats and Winter Accessories (Northern Children's Services)
- Children's Books & beautification (Tree House Books)
- Pet Adoptions and Supply Donations (Pooch Kaboose Rescue)
- Teens for Jeans (Shawna's House Inc.)
To kick off the season of giving on Family Volunteer Day, The Big Give Philly will engage over 75 members of the community in valuable service projects to benefit local nonprofit organizations who support families and animals in need. Additionally, outdoor beautification projects that are tailored to enhance a section of the 19121 area of North Philadelphia.
Additional Projects and appearances:
