Be a Christmas Craft Creator for Our Annual Christmas Party! This is in HILO
Join us as a Christmas Craft Creator and help bring creativity and joy to the children at our annual Christmas Party! As a Craft Creator, you’ll host a simple, festive craft activity that the keiki can make and take home. Let’s create beautiful memories and keepsakes together! Some of these children will make these as gifts for their family or friends... Crafts are so important this time of the year!
Requirements:
- Bring a Ready-to-Go Craft: Each Craft Creator must provide a non religious holiday-themed craft project that’s simple and enjoyable for children to assemble. You’ll need to bring enough materials for up to 100 children. (we have a list of their favorites listed on the slots page, or you can design your own)
- Pre-Cut Materials: For safety, please ensure that all items are precut so no scissors are needed. This will make assembly quick, easy, and safe for little hands.
- Materials Not Allowed: Please avoid using glitter or liquid glue. Instead, feel free to use glue dots, glue sticks, or a hot glue gun as needed. NO Paint, nothing that makes a mess!!
- Family-Friendly Volunteering: Groups or families are welcome to work together! Please note that due to limited space, only 3- people can staff each craft station, and one volunteer must be 18 or older.
- Table Setup: Each craft station will have a 5-6 foot table with another volunteer, so plan your setup accordingly.

Why Volunteer? This Christmas Party gives homeless children the chance to celebrate the holidays with creativity, warmth, and joy. Through your craft station, you’ll help them create something they can take with them-something that reminds them of the holiday magic and the kindness of our community. Volunteering as a Craft Creator lets you make a lasting impact by giving children the opportunity to make and treasure their own little piece of Christmas cheer.
Join us in making this season magical for the children who need it most. Your time, creativity, and care can make their holidays unforgettable!
