We believe that every person, even the very young, can make a contribution to orphan care. Below is a list of ideas for involving children in this ministry. Children can:
-
Donate clothes, toys, and school supplies to foster children or an orphanage
-
Ask for donations to an orphanage to be made in lieu of birthday presents at a party
-
Raise money through a garage sale, car wash, lemonade stand, bake sale, craft faire, etc. and donate it to an orphan ministry or use it to buy Christmas presents for foster children
-
Become a pen-pal to a child in an orphanage
-
Participate in Show Hope’s Change for Orphans program and fill a bucket with change for orphans
-
Babysit or be a mother's helper to a foster or adoptive family.
-
Donate homemade hats, blankets, and other necessities to an orphanage.
-
Older children may be able to visit an orphanage and serve on a short-term missions trip, either with their youth group or family.
