Service or Community Centered Party Ideas:
Some kids might have the giving heart or an activist heart and would like to have
a party that helps others. Find a service project that could take the spirit of
giving and benefiting others.
This might be good for those children who have everything and want nothing (though
I am sure they are few and far between, I know there are kids out there like that.)
Donate your time or goods to a helpful cause either in community, country, or world.
Check first with organization for permission and age requirements:
Local Soup Kitchens
Animal Shelters
Food Pantry
Collect for military
Community Clean up
Can Drive
