Volunteer Opportunities

This year’s KONY COINS FOR KIDS (CFK) program will look a little different due to COVID 19.

We still want to take care of as many families as we can, but this year there will be NO public shopping by volunteers, nor wrapping, nor delivery. This year parents will apply for assistance online at www.coinsforkids.net between October 25 and November 10, 202a. Applications will then be reviewed and are subject to denial depending on the standard requirements as always such as the limit on the number of times assistance can be granted. Also, proof of residence in the county will be required, as well as photo ID, birth certificates of the children, and recommendation letter. Once your application has been approved for processing, we will contact the families to review the documents required as always. Those interviews will be held between November 15-17. Once a family has been approved, then they will be assigned a time to shop for their own children. Shopping will take place (overseen by the CFK board) at the Washington Wal-Mart on Dec 14 and 15. As the items are checked at the register, CFK will then pay for their toy and clothing selections up to the limit designated by the board. Hours for the shopping will be 5-8:30 pm.
