DIY Volunteering -August 2014

Thanks To HandsOn Greater Richmond, we’re bringing you a new activity each month that you can do any time, any place and is great for getting little kids involved in their community.

Here’s how it works:

1. Check out the cause and supply list below.  If it looks like something you’d like to do, let them know here and the lovely folks at HandsOn will send you instructions on how to do that month’s DIY project.

2. Volunteer at home with your kids, during naptime, or get a group together and volunteer as a team (learn how to create and manage a team right here).

3. Drop it off and feel good about making Richmond a little brighter while doing something really fun.

This Month’s DIY:

SupportOne provides residential and community-based support services for adults with intellectual disabilities. HandsOn Greater Richmond is partnering with SupportOne for August’s DIY project to help make client’s birthdays a little brighter. Volunteers will be crafting colorful and cheerful birthday cards that will be distributed throughout the year on resident’s birthdays, making them feel even more loved and cared for on their special day.

Supply List*:

• Scissors
• Decorative tape, markers, stamps, glitter, stickers, paint, felt, stickers, string, sequins, etc.
• Adhesives: Glue, mod podge

*DIY Volunteers are responsible for purchasing any of the materials needed for DIY volunteer opportunities.

We’ve partnered up with HandsOn and will post the DIY for the month here on Richmondmom.com, but you want to get out and about, you can find more volunteering opportunities for you or the whole family on their website.
