Give Your Time

We offer a variety of volunteering opportunities to support our mission, ranging from one-time events to ongoing partnerships. By getting involved on behalf of children, you can help create a ripple of positive change that has the power to transform their lives and shape a brighter future for us all.

Your time is precious, and when you volunteer with us, every moment goes towards making a significant impact.

Here’s what your commitment can accomplish:

1 Hr

In just sixty minutes, you can pack hundreds of nutritious meals. Your efforts will help us combat hunger and bring joy to many children affiliated with our local non-profit partners.

3 Hrs

You'll be instrumental in transforming the surroundings of our local non-profit. Your time will ensure a clean, safe environment for the kids, a place where they can play, learn, and grow without hindrance.

6 Hrs

Dedicate a day, and you can help turn a house into a home for a family. A six-hour commitment can see you completing a vital phase of a home-build project, creating a safe haven for a family in need.

If you have a strong desire to provide children with the opportunities they deserve, then consider volunteering with Care for Kids. It could be the perfect fit for you.

Care for Kids Day

We’ve designated one special day, September 20, as Care for Kids Day. On that day, we encourage our partners and supporters to engage in a day of service at a local organization that has touched their hearts.

Care for Kids Day helps supporters get to know and connect with the organizations they help. When employees volunteer as a team, it helps foster a meaningful sense of connection with the community.

2026 Dinner Hosts for Love and Luggage Participants

Be part of a meaningful evening as a Dinner Host for Love and Luggage participants—young people who have aged out of foster care. Each dinner, held at First Pres of Maumee (200 E.
