Anyone who is not a high school student needs to have volunteer clearance. If you are able to volunteer to help sort donations, read details and sign up using this form.
KidVantage: Bring On The Bikes!
It’s officially summer, and that means it's bikes, trikes and scooter season! During the summer months items such as bikes, trikes and scooters are some of our most sought-after items. Our shop volunteers work hard year-round to ensure the donated bikes, trikes and scooters we receive are in good and working condition. However, it isn’t uncommon for our Hubs to run out before we have fulfilled local children's wishes each week. If you have any bikes, trikes and scooters you no longer need or use, bring them down to your local KidVantage Hub! Help us fulfill a need and bring joy to a local child this summer! Schedule your drop off now!

Birthday Drives: Birthdays are important because it's an opportunity for a child to develop a sense of identity and a feeling of self-worth, as they feel recognized and valued for who they are and their growth over the years. For a family struggling to pay rent, put meals on the table, or afford diapers, birthday gifts aren't going to be a priority. KidVantage wants all kids to experience the joys of celebrating their birthday, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. This summer we're hosting our Birthday Buddies drives, where you can collect new toys and give parents and caregivers a chance to celebrate their children on their special day! If you'd like to host, visit our website to sign-up! www.kidvantagenw.org/organize-a-drive
