ANNUAL PROJECTS @ RATHGEBER
We host celebrations to help families feel at home while they are experiencing major life setbacks. These events bring a small bit of happiness during a time of need.
-
The children at Rathgeber go back to school with new friends and necessary supplies to get them through the school year after we assemble bags to accommodate their needs.
-
Help Rathgeber kids while parents are working after school on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30 PM. You don’t have to be certified. Just be present to help and answer homework questions.

Pumpkin painting, treats, and costumes! Oh my!

Santa, reindeer, scent of tidings, The Night before Christmas reading, stockings, crafting, Christmas galore!

Volunteers get together to make wonderful memories and build Easter baskets for kids at the Rathgeber Center for Families.
