UPCOMING EVENTS

It's time for another magical ride with Kids Need More! Join our Elf Team and jump on our Holiday Cheer Bus to help spread joy to families across Nassau County who are coping with cancer, life threatening illness and other tough stuff. Experience the joy of giving, the warmth of togetherness, and the true meaning of the holiday season with your family and ours!

Open to families with children ages 12 & up. All youth volunteers MUST be accompanied by an adult. This event is NOT eligible for community service hours.

Children and a grown-up of their choice are invited to join us for a meaningful storytime, craft, and conversation about kindness and helping others. Kids are encouraged to bring a favorite teddy bear, stuffed animal, or doll—because everything’s more fun with a special friend! We’ll also be collecting new and gently loved teddy bears to bring comfort to children in disaster areas, orphanages, and hospitals worldwide. It’s a heartwarming adventure in giving—perfect for kids, grown-ups, and teddy bears alike! (Open to children ages 4 to 9; registration required)

This Winter, help us bring warmth and care to those who need it most. Participants will come together to transform donated gloves and mittens into care bundles filled with essential winter items for homeless men and women. It’s a simple, hands-on way to make a big difference—and keep hearts and hands cozy all season long. (Open to ages 10 and up; registration required.)

Join us for an evening filled with kindness, connection, and community spirit! We’ll celebrate everything we’ve achieved in our second year and highlight the compassionate actions of standout community members who have made a significant impact throughout this year. Participants will engage in heartwarming kindness activities, and each person will receive one FREE red heart balloon— and in Howie’s honor, we invite you to pass that balloon along to someone else as a spontaneous act of kindness, spreading joy well beyond our event. Refreshments will be served. (Open to all ages; registration required.)

Step right up for a spectacular celebration of service! Under our very own Big Top, volunteers will travel through three dazzling circus-service rings, each dedicated to helping different animals in need.

Join us for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration where kindness is the treasure at the end of the rainbow. We’ll spend a joyful evening crafting “Pot O’ Gold” care packages for families facing housing insecurity, and create uplifting cards sprinkled with encouragement. Come share the spirit, the smiles, and a wee bit of Irish magic! (Open to ages 12 & up; registration required)
