special events

Florence Crittenton Services' special events offer volunteers the opportunity to get involved on a limited or short-term basis.

Miles for Moms Run/Walk. The Miles for Moms Run/Walk, held the day before Mother's Day, is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We need volunteers for event planning, prize solicitation, scheduling volunteers and more. We also offer lots of opportunities to help on race day, from manning registration to directing participants to serving bagels to runners.

Annual Luncheon. We also need volunteers for our Annual Luncheon, another major fundraiser, which takes place in the fall. Be a table captain, fold programs, mail invitations, find sponsors, decorate the banquet room, set up tables and greet guests the day of the luncheon, and more!

Baby Bucks Store. This volunteer-operated store, which gives students the opportunity to earn diapers and baby clothing as a reward for attendance and high performance in school, needs volunteers to organize, inventory and serve our teenage clients.

School Supplies Drive. Companies are encouraged to get involved in Florence Crittenton Services' annual School Supplies Drive in July and August. We need backpacks and school items donated,and need help filling the packs and distributing them to students.

Graduation. When graduation rolls around in May, we need help with advance preparation, mailings, program folding, event day setup of displays and food, and more.

Homecoming. Our annual Homecoming event requires volunteers to help with mailings, set up on event day, and greet and direct former students and staff who attend.

Holiday Helping Hands. Florence Crittenton Services' annual holiday giving campaign offers a multitude of opportunities for supporters to get involved throughout the November and December holiday season.

Food Baskets Program. When there is need, Florence Crittenton Services organizes food baskets for struggling students and their families. Volunteers can help with the shopping, sort the items, and assemble food bags.

Donated Clothing. Gently used clothing and toys donated to Florence Crittenton Services must be sorted and distributed to the students.

Creative Projects. Sometimes an individual's talents and inclinations suggest original ways to contribute. One volunteer with an artistic bent is painting a mural in a new Early Learning Center classroom. What unique talent do you have?
