Be My Neighbor Day

Be My Neighbor Day invites children and families to participate in family volunteer activities that aid neighbors in need. It’s a great way to help children understand how to support others and how one kind act can lead to many.

Sign-up to do something nice for your neighbor this year.  Families can volunteer to help clean a park, make sweater goodie bags, create a greeting card or wash a fire truck.

It's a "grr-ific" way to begin a lifetime of neighborly volunteerism!
