Activity Description

SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! We want to keep Houston volunteering all week long! Let's make self-care packages for The Childrens Assessment Center to distribute to its clients.


For this activity, you will work with your family at home to assemble self-care packages for The Children's Assessment Center to hand out to their clients.  Self-care packages include items, like fidget toys, which help clients and caregivers de-stress while processing difficult information with forensic staff. Fidgets help clients manage their anxiety, regulate emotions, and are also used as a grounding technique.


You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.


Activity Requirements

  • This activity is great for all ages.
  • You can include any items you wish to purchase and place them in Ziploc bags.
  • You can also write encouraging notes to go in each package.
  • ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE STORE PURCHASED.
