Fundraising & Volunteering
While a large portion of the work CHC does is to provide in-kind donations to our partner agencies, i.e., backpacks and school supplies, camp necessities, food, coats and holiday items, we also support our partners with financial contributions. Through the years CHC has sponsored programs for therapeutic arts, new refrigerators for food pantries, off-campus outings for children and college preparation programs.
If you are interested in donating to CHC, you can do so here or mail a check to:
The Children’s Hope Chest
PO Box 460
Purchase, NY 10577
If you would like to host a fundraiser of your own, here are some ideas. We would be happy to help you organize and attend your event
- Host a cocktail party and invite your friends to learn more
- Work with a local spin/exercise/yoga company to hold a special class
- Organize a group for a walk-a-thon/marathon
- Encourage your child to set up a lemonade stand
- Gather a group of teens for a car wash
- Host a cooking/wine tasting etc. party
However, if you would like to do more, there are many ways to help. Please email us at info@childrenshopechest.com
If your child would like to get involved with fundraising or volunteering, Children’s Hope Chest offers many meaningful ways to make a difference. Participants can support one of our existing programs by organizing a food, coat, toy or essential-items drive; hosting a bake sale or fundraiser; collecting donations; or volunteering at an event.
Whether your child is preparing for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, celebrating a birthday, graduation or another milestone, completing a school or community-service project, or simply looking for a way to give back, we can help create a project that reflects their interests and supports local children and families in need.
