Places to volunteer in Chicago with kids

As the holidays approach, don't forget those that are less fortunate. Volunteering not only helps those that need it, but it can also be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.  These organizations listed not only give back, but the best part is that the whole family can help out and make a difference.

The Honeycomb Project makes volunteering a safe family-friendly experience by planning the logistics and providing the supplies. Upcoming projects include packing survival kits for homeless teens, working in a community garden, and helping in a holiday toy drive.

At the Bethesda Home and Retirement Center, they strive to provide a sense of community for their residents, and especially love when babies (and even pets) visit and spend quality time with them.
