- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Caring Kids will be working in the Westside Garden with the Kiwanis Club! Each year approximately 30,000 pounds of food is grown from three gardens that the Kiwanis Club manages and the food is donated to the Thurston County Food Bank. In May, Caring Kids will be a part of making that happen - planting string beans and harvesting produce! All tools will be provided (however, there are no small gloves available) and on site there will be water, snacks, and there are also bathrooms.
By volunteering as a family, you are taking an important step toward raising a person who will be sensitive to the needs of others, who will have a head start on the path of giving back to the community, and who will leave the world in a better plan than they found it. Each month, our early learning staff will create a volunteer activity that is age appropriate and engaging for kids 2-5 years old (however, all ages are welcome!). Please note, a parent must accompany their child during the volunteer activity.
