What started as a volunteer opportunity for children and families has blossomed into a unique way for anyone to send a caring word, spread goodwill, and connect with neighbors experiencing some challenges. Through our Color Some Kindness program, volunteers decorate boxes with colorful, heartfelt messages, bringing warmth and smiles to the seniors who receive our Grocery Boxes each month.
Given the program’s popularity and to ensure timely and cost-effective participation, we’ve restructured the Color Some Kindness options for participation. We are now offering both an onsite volunteer opportunity at CCFB and an opportunity for our Kindness Crew to come to you! Whether onsite at CCFB or hosted at your location, the Kindness Crew will guide your group in creating heartfelt boxes and share the impact CCFB has in our community. Kindness Crew volunteers, many of whom are retired teachers, have the background clearances to work with children. (Documentation available upon request.)
If you’d like to Color Some Kindness with your group, please complete the form below. Due to high demand, we ask that requests be submitted at least four weeks in advance. While evening and weekend times are available, they’re offered on a limited basis.
This is a wonderful service activity for all ages, especially for younger children under our volunteer minimum of 12 years of age. With nearly 800 boxes packed each month, we have plenty of room for your colorful contributions! Additionally, consider hosting a food drive or virtual food drive alongside your Color Some Kindness or making a donation to support programs like our Grocery Boxes for Seniors.
