Volunteering as a
family provides quality time, strengthens
communication and offers opportunities for family
members to be role models while making significant
contributions to their neighborhoods. Family
volunteering develops lifelong volunteers and a
legacy of civic engagement for the next generation
to carry into the future.
Sponsored nationally by The Walt Disney Company,
Family Volunteer Day is an international initiative
of the Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center
National Network to work with families, businesses,
nonprofits and Volunteer Centers to make
volunteering a family tradition. Locally, Family
Volunteer Day is planned and implemented by
VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads. Volunteers pack 10,000
pounds of nonperishable food for 13 nonprofits --
primarily homeless and domestic abuse shelters.
