[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know of any in this area off the top of my head but I will say one volunteer area that toddlers are generally welcomed is with elder care.  If you can find a nursing home to volunteer with you can go by and bring holiday cookies, sing carols, and generally bring a bit of family love and attention to residents whose own families are not necessarily able to be there for the holidays.  As PPs have mentioned, regularly volunteering time for elder care can definitely be turned into a year-round thing you do together as a family.[/quote]

No, actually during flu season nursing homes do not want toddlers running around.[/quote]

Ah, good point! I know this kind of volunteering happened a lot when I was young (and the seniors in our church did love having people visit) but you’re right that health comes first and it may be different now/in a big city.  Sorry for the fail suggestion.  :-([/quote]

With the flu outbreaks we've been having as well as other illnesses, as well as the staffing challenges many nursing homes face (especially around the holidays), many nursing homes now recommend small children stay at home unless absolutely necessary (e.g., to visit a dying grandparent).[/quote]
