Volunteer Activation Zones
MAKE Activation Zone
Help us make up food supplies for preschool to ensure nutritious food is served daily to small children and their teachers plus carers. You’ll layer ‘Buckets of Love’ with dry goods to make soups and stews and pack nutritious ‘Love Food’ boxes with essential groceries. For larger groups sandwich making team builds are available to spread sarmies with love.
All these items are labelled creatively by you with personal notes and wishes.
CREATE Activation Zone
Use your creativity to bring educational posters and colouring-in books to life for preschool children and teachers to support early childhood development. Underserved Educare centres battle with educational materials and the items you make will be a huge help and game changer for them.
CRAFT Activation Zone
Toys are scarce at the preschools we support and crafting a cute pillow doll with love that a child can call their own is a priceless gift. Colour, craft, stitch and tag with love these beautiful dolls for boys and girls. You can choose peace dolls or cars, taxi, jeeps and buses plus the favourite squish dolls.
GROW Activation Zone
You will create edible garden kits that keep on growing veggies that only provide nutritious food but teach the children, teachers and parents the importance of growing your own. You’ll create the containers, pack the soil and seeds and create a how to guide- all wrapped up with a message of love.
