VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Baby Fold counts on the work of volunteers to meet the needs of the 1,650 children and families we serve every year.  From one-time projects to lifetime commitments, the possibilities are endless!  Many thanks to the volunteers who willingly give of their time, talent, and treasures to benefit children and families in need.

Birthday Gifts: Children at the Residential Treatment Center enjoy sports equipment, tapes, Gameboys, school supplies, books and games for their birthdays.

 

General Office Work:   Volunteers are needed to assist with data entry, typing, switchboard, mailings and other office projects.

 

Toy and Car Seat Cleaning: Our Family Center has many child visitors every week.  Volunteers are needed to clean the toys and car seats the children use.

Showers:   Any group of people can host a shower to benefit the children and families of The Baby Fold.  Examples include: a baby shower to meet infant needs; a housewarming shower for families just setting up housekeeping; a summer shower with gifts of summer fun activities; a sports, games, arts, or crafts shower to help our children develop healthy interests; a back-to school shower with school supplies; a winter shower of warm winter clothing and winter sports equipment.

Festival of Trees Volunteer: Hundreds of volunteers assist with The Baby Fold’s annual fundraiser every year.  There are a variety of committees and functions to choose from!

 

Santa’s Helper: Each year at Christmas time, The Baby Fold receives gifts for the children and families served by our agency.  Volunteers are needed to inventory, sort and wrap gifts during the month of December.

 

Holiday Party Planner: Volunteers are needed to plan holiday parties for the children at The Baby Fold’s Residential Treatment Center and Hammitt School.

 

Christmas Wish List: Donations are needed to fill the Christmas wish lists of children served by The Baby Fold.  Many of these children would not receive gifts for Christmas if it were not for the generosity of our donors.

 

Creative Volunteers: Do you have a talent to share with children such as music, art, or a hobby?  Perhaps your group would like to sponsor a bake sale, spaghetti supper, or garage sale to benefit the children and families of The Baby Fold.

 

Foster Parents: Abused and neglected children in McLean County are in desperate need of caring, nurturing foster parents. Foster families are needed for all types of children: sibling groups, teens, infants and school-aged children.

Adoptive Parents: Permanent loving families are needed for children of all ages.  The need is greatest for sibling groups, older children, and children with emotional and behavioral disabilities
