[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^to pp former social worker mom: what’s DV shelter? How can I sponsor and ice cream party? What else could I volunteer to do? (I have the time and money). [/quote]

A shelter for victims of domestic violence.  Always a ton of kids in these.

You can do a lot of things if you want to help kids.  You can put together care packages with books, toys, and clothes for kids entering into foster care or reuniting with their birth parents.  Offer to teach a free art class and provide materials.  Do a drive for adult bikes and help fix them up.  A lot of people who are homeless have trouble keeping a job because they don’t have a good way of getting there.  
I always think the DCUM demographic would be particularly good at helping kids who are aging out of the foster system with registering and preparing for the ACTs, applying for the myriad of scholarships they qualify for, and helping them transition to college.  These kids just don’t know much about it, and CPS and high school guidance counselors are underpaid and overwhelmed.  [/quote]
