Volunteer Your Time
Do you love helping others? Is your heart ready to get even bigger? We've got a great way for you to give and receive! If you love kids and would like to serve children with disabilities, then we've got a lot of opportunities for you! Join our passionate army!
Volunteers can help with a variety of tasks! We're currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:
Fundraising - If you have contacts in the San Diego area (furniture stores, mattress stores, local artists etc.) you can help us recruit support and share our story. We're a charity completely funded by donations and the support of local businesses. In 2017 we will need to raise more funds quickly to sustain our efforts.
Gaining Corporate Sponsorships - If you work for a corporation in San Diego - inquire about a service committee or donation matching program. Cecily's Closet has benefited from these programs in the past and we'd love to work with more corporations. We provide leadership opportunities and team building opportunities through service related projects. We typically need about a 3 month window to secure these opportunities.
Grant Writing - We applied for several grants since opening our doors in 2010 with limited success! We need help. If you have experience applying for grants then we'd love to hear from you! We are grateful for past donors and we know with additional grants we can help more families.
Helping with a Room makeover - There are many tasks involved with completing a room makeover... from ironing the curtains to hanging the art! We're always looking for an extra pair of hands. We welcome designers and artists but you don't have to be a professional to join our crew!
Calling Carpenters! - We know that building furniture can be cheaper than buying it! We don't have too many carpenters on our team yet... but we'd love to be able to maximize some of the smaller spaces we work with my getting creative with built ins and more!
Gently Used Goods - If you have gently used equipment that a child with special needs can benefit from, please contact us. We're committed to building recycling durable medical equipment. We ask that donors share pictures (along with make/model and description) and we post to social media. Interested recipients are responsible for picking up the donated items.
Photography! - We are realizing that a wide angle lens camera is a wonderful (but expensive item!) If you have a passion for photography and can photograph our rooms (before and after) we'd really appreciate it.
Video Editing - We love to create videos of our rooms so you can meet the family and learn more about the opportunities of raising a child with special needs! We'd love help creating these mini-videos to help spread the word about our work!
Sewers wanted - It is amazing what many hands can do! Help us keep our belly bands FREE for families in San Diego. We make fabric wraps for children with feeding tubes and we will supply volunteers with the fabric necessary to make these lovely belly bands. Comfy for kids and priceless for parents! Join our sewing team today!
By volunteering once or as many times as you would like, you will help a family and their child have a more fulfilling and better life. Email us at [email protected] to learn more!
