Donate Soft Easter Bunnies for Children in Hospice Care

Creating a Giving Culture LV is collecting new, soft Easter bunnies to bring comfort, warmth, and love to children receiving hospice care this Easter season.

We did this project a few years ago, and the response from the children and their families was unforgettable. Something as simple as a soft bunny brought smiles, quiet comfort, and moments of peace during an incredibly difficult time. The gratitude and emotion from families truly melted our hearts and stayed with us long after Easter ended.

Some children may not be able to celebrate Easter in the ways we often take for granted, but they can still feel remembered, cared for, and surrounded by kindness. A soft bunny becomes something they can hold onto during moments when comfort matters most.

We are inviting individuals, families, schools, churches, clubs, workplaces, and community groups to donate new, soft plush Easter bunnies. All donations will be thoughtfully delivered to children in hospice care.

Creating a Giving Culture LV is collecting American flags to support local veterans memorial efforts and remembrance events.

Each year, volunteers and community members come together to honor veterans by placing American flags in remembrance of their service and sacrifice. As this meaningful effort continues to grow, we are seeking donations of American flags to ensure every veteran is honored with dignity and respect.

We are currently accepting donations of 8 x 12 inch American flags on wooden sticks. Flags may be new or gently used and will be handled with care throughout the memorial process.

This opportunity is family friendly and open to individuals, schools, faith based organizations, community groups, and businesses who wish to support veterans in a meaningful way.

Donation drop off details will be coordinated after sign up.

Creating a Giving Culture LV is preparing for our upcoming youth led Community Giving Carnival, a large scale service event bringing together K through 12 students to serve the local community.

Donations may also be made directly through our Amazon Wish List:

This project is led by the Nevada Volunteers Youth Council, in partnership with Creating a Giving Culture LV, and is recognized as an official America 250 Nevada Gives Project.

To make this event possible, we are collecting individually packaged snacks for student volunteers and community members participating in hands on service activities.

We are currently seeking donations of granola bars, individual bags of chips, and fruit snacks. All items must be unopened and individually packaged.

This opportunity is family friendly and open to individuals, schools, churches, clubs, businesses, and community groups who would like to support youth service and community engagement.

Donation drop off details will be coordinated after sign up.
