Kids Meals, Houston SPCA, Generation Serve offer different ways seasonal downtime can be...
Parents wanting to expose their children to volunteerism over the summer have options for altruism, even from home or on a road trip.
The organization’s top need is decorated lunch bags to hold the free meals. Families can purchase standard lunch sacks — Stielow suggests a dollar retailer — to decorate using markers or stickers.Some kids draw pictures and heartfelt messages on the bags. Others add tic-tac-toe squares, knock-knock jokes, riddles and mazes or transform the bags into puppets that can be used after mealtime.
While decorating, kids understand that “we fill them with food that changes someone’s day,” she says. The organization asks youth volunteers for a time commitment totaling three weeks over the summer, during which they will assist teachers with HSPCA’s Critter Camps. Summer volunteers might choose to train for a longer-term commitment, which could lead to helping in the barn.
