Holiday Volunteer Opportunities for Chicago Families
This year, why not make volunteering one of your family Christmas traditions?
There are plenty of ways to volunteer from home, but if you're looking to get out into the community here's a list of Chicago holiday volunteer opportunities for families. Please recommend any we've missed below...kid-friendly volunteer events can be hard to find, and we'd love your help growing the list!
If you want to keep volunteering together all year long, check out our big list of family volunteer opportunities.
Operation Christmas Child
Vanessa M.: Kids of all ages can help make Christmas special for children all over the world by packing a shoebox of gifts with Operation Christmas Child. Every year my family gets together to pack shoeboxes, and it is a wonderful way to focus our little ones' hearts on giving! Teens ages 13+ can volunteer with an adult at the Operation Christmas Child warehouse, sorting and packing shoeboxes in a fun, Santa's workshop-like atmosphere.
