In preparation for the Dr. Seuss Birthday Party being hosted for the children who live at the Child Crisis Center of El Paso, we were given a tour of the Center. As we walked around each room, we began to see many opportunities for individuals, organizations, and businesses to donate items, give financially, or volunteer their time or services.
The Child Crisis Center of El Paso is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit emergency shelter for children ages newborn to 13 who are victims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, or suffering from a family crisis. While living at the Center, the children receive nutritious food, clean clothing, appropriate health care, and sleep in a warm comfortable bed. Every effort is made to keep children occupied so that they do not reflect on the crisis and trauma that has led them to the Center.
One of the ways that you can partner with the Child Crisis Center of El Paso is by donating items. One of the most needed items is individual pre-packaged snacks. Other frequently used items needed are listed on their page under Home then "Our Wish List." https://www.facebook.com/childcrisiselp
Volunteering is another important way that you can partner with the Center. Volunteers are needed to help children directly by serving as tutors to assist the children with their homework and studying, administrative duties, including answering phones; providing services to the community, and special events and fundraisers.
In addition to the regular volunteer program, the Child Crisis Center is in need of skilled professional volunteers, such as hairstylists to cut the children’s hair; plumbing, HVAC, and construction services for repairs and upgrades; cleaning services, as well as other skills and services that can be donated to the Center.
