Ripple Kids, a nonprofit seeking to inspire and empower kids to take action in their communities is hosting a Project Fair this Sunday, October 19, from 12 PM to 3 PM at the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, SoCo and the OC Mix. A Ripple Kid is a kid who has identified an issue and has taken action to resolve it. This event will feature 10 free service projects located at several retailers addressing a variety of causes from hunger to the environment. In addition, we will have several nonprofits there to let kids know about their cause and how they can get involved.

 

The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity will serve as a venue for two projects – Stop Hunger Now and Project Hope Alliance. Stop Hunger Now packages meals for kids in 3rd world countries using an assembly line formation that is very energetic and engaging for the participants.  During our last event in June, we packaged 15,000 meals for kids in Vietnam. For the Project Hope Alliance project, volunteers will be assembling art supply kits for kids in need serviced by PHA. 

 

Please join us in welcoming Ripple Kids to the Center and come on down to participate in these worthy causes! Sunday, October 19, from noon to 3 PM. The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity is located at 3321 Hyland Avenue, Suite A, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Visit https://rkia.eventbrite.com to RSVP or to volunteer!

It's no joke that the Center put out a request recently for new volunteers to assist the organization in its growth goals for 2014 and beyond. This past Tuesday evening, sixteen people answered the call for six defined areas: office administration, marketing, computer support, event support, program artist, and community ambassador. A heartfelt "Thank You!" to all who made the effort and joined us for this important meeting. You inspire us!All photos courtesy Stephen Russo.
