We need a dozen caring people to finish packing and loading our Christmas Bureau hygiene kits! These kits are offered as an extra to our families applying for Christmas Bureau help the first week of November.

The majority of the hygiene kits are packed. We need a dozen or so volunteers to add dental kits and missing items to some kits. After packing is complete, we need some strong arms to load the finished kits onto a truck provided by our partners at Topeka Housing Authority so they can transport them to our intake location in East Topeka.

If you have two hours on Tuesday, October 27, sign up to join us from 3-5 pm. We will work in the Community Room of our Topeka office, 1527 SW Fairlawn Rd..

This hands-on project supports local individuals and families by providing everyday necessities and helping create a positive, welcoming experience for those receiving assistance during the holiday season.

If you need help signing up on KawValleyVolunteers.org, please reach out and we will get you on board!

Help finalize hygiene kits that will be distributed at Christmas Bureau client intake! The majority of the hygiene kits are packed. Volunteers will add dental kits to packed hygiene kits, and add missing items to some kits. After kits are complete, volunteers will load the hygiene kits onto a truck....
