Upcoming Opportunities From: City of Dublin, Ohio

PLEASE NOTE:

Kids In Dublin Service is for youth in grades K-5th grade who live in the City of Dublin or the Dublin City School District ONLY!

Please make sure you are registering EACH CHILD individually. 

Join fellow kind K.I.D.S. as we spend quality time with the senior residents at Avondale here in Dublin!

For this project, we will be painting canvases with a "Better Together" theme for a paint-along with me style project. The paintings will then be displayed at Avondale throughout the winter season to remind Avondale residents that they are part of the Dublin community and create a sense of intergenerational belonging.

Families are asked to bring donations for the Avondale food pantry as many residents are SNAP recipients and are currently experiencing food insecurities. Registered volunteers will receive a most needed items list ahead of the project. 

Project Location: Avondale National Church Residences

Knit a Hat, Share the Warmth

Help wrap a cancer patient in comfort and care—one cozy stitch at a time.
During chemo, many patients lose their hair, leaving them feeling cold and vulnerable. But a handmade hat can make all the difference—offering warmth, confidence, and a heartfelt reminder that their community is cheering them on.

And that's where YOU come in!

We’re calling on volunteers of all skill levels—first-time knitters to seasoned pros—to create soft, comforting hats for cancer patients. Knit at your own pace, in your own space, and be part of something truly meaningful.

Ready to make a difference - one stitch at a time?
