In February 2025, Do Good Roseville hosted our first Family Service Fair which was a series of stations featuring kid-friendly, hands-on service learning projects for non-profits. The idea for the fair, as well as many of the ideas, came from Doing Good Together, which is an amazing site full of ideas for raising kids who care and contribute.
To see more about our first fair, click here.
We don’t want the projects to stop just because our fair is over, and many of the projects (especially the coloring ones) can easily be done at home. For that reason, we are sharing the projects we did at our fair, some from the Falcon Heights Elementary Family Service Fair (held every January) and some other ideas.
If our information is out-dated, or even better, if you have ideas we can share with others, please contact Kathy at kramundt@hotmail.com.
***Very important to contact the organization before beginning a project to ensure they are accepting donations***
