CCF Kids

Caring Community Kids exists as an integral part of the Caring Community Foundation and was initiated in October 2004 to raise awareness in children of the need to help others in the community, particularly children and families who are dealing with cancer, and to raise awareness in the community about the work of this Foundation.

The Caring Community Kids Giving Heart Project:What do we do?

We help kids to help other kids:

• Kids draw art squares on fabric
• Fabric art squares are made into quilts
• Quilts are given to kids dealing with cancer

It's a simple, yet powerful way to express their compassion for others through art. Through these actions we are providing support and giving heart to these children and their families during a difficult time. If you would like to help with the Caring Community Kids Giving Heart Project, please email Elaine Paul.

Kids Can Help!

Older kids looking for service hours or a special project, like a Girl Scout Silver or Gold Award, can have an opportunity to take a leadership role in helping kids create art squares that will be made into quilts. This may be a large project, such as helping to organize supplies and volunteers at an event where several hundred children may be participating and making art squares for many quilts, or it may be a smaller event organizing a group of kids to make art squares for a single quilt. Younger kids can help too, either by creating artwork themselves, or by helping others to create fabric art squares.

Our next volunteer opportunities are highlighted in the Newsletter. Please check out our Quilt Stories and then help us make some more! email Elaine Paul.
