Give Back Crafts + Snacks with Seniors

Description

WHAT TO EXPECT: Kid Volunteers will work alongside their new "grandfriends" as they make give-back crafts to benefit Hermitage Cat Shelter + enjoy snacks together. This is a fun way to bring some kindness + friendship to the residents at Villa Hermosa while doing good for some four-legged friends as well! WHY IS THIS WORK IMPORTANT: This hands-on volunteer work will benefit Villa Hermosa Retirement Community. Did you know that social isolation + loneliness in senior citizens leads to a 50% risk in developing dementia and other serious health conditions*? Providing seniors with social interactions with others (especially interactions with kids!) and a sense of purpose can reduce the negative health impacts of feeling alone. *CDC.gov, 2021 KIND NOTES: This is an indoor and in-person volunteer project. All supplies will be provided. Given the vulnerability of the residents, if you are not feeling well on the day of the project, please let us know. Stay tuned for additional details to help you prepare for the day! WHY YOU'LL BE ASKED TO PAY A FAMILY REGISTRATION FEE: Our small family registration fee enables Crafting Kind Kids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to offset volunteer costs for this event. These fees are non-refundable. If you have to cancel your registration later, please know that your fee will go toward our efforts to create more give-back kindness projects for our kids, families + non-profit partners. KIND NOTE: If you would like to participate in a Crafting Kind Kids family volunteer event + need assistance covering the registration fee, please email us: [email protected]. We will handle the registration fee. We want volunteering to be accessible to all. ♥ Kid Volunteers showing off the sock snowmen they made with some residents.
