Join WJCS for our 2025-2026 Family Volunteer Events – a special chance for you and your children to spend quality time together while making a real difference for neighbors in need. These hands-on activities are designed for families of all ages to roll up their sleeves, have fun, and help our community. Whether you are sorting supplies, packing kits, or delivering smiles, every project is an opportunity to teach children the value of kindness and connection.
Bring your energy, your compassion, and if you can, items to contribute to the drive. Monetary donations are also welcome. Come for the cause, stay for the connection – and show your children how meaningful it is to help others.
Each event includes pizza and refreshments, a story about giving to others and volunteering, and a discussion about the program that the event is helping.
