February Cause Area
fragile children

The needs of fragile children cover an expansive range of situations. Some fragile children have visible physical challenges or serious illnesses and some might be sight or hearing-impaired while others might struggle with anxiety or have a learning or mental disability.

Additionally, many fragile children are in difficult home situations and in need of basic necessities such as shelter, clothing, food and school support.

Pebble Tossers works with a variety of organizations that support these children based on their needs.

Our partners that work with fragile children are ARMHC, Atlanta Angels, CHOA, Chris 180, Covenant House, Create Your Dreams, Foster Care Support Foundation, InCommunity, Kate’s Club and My Sister’s House.

Adopt a Meal for Kate’s Club

Kate’s Club empowers children facing life after the death of a parent or sibling. They create healing communities through recreational and therapeutic group programs, education, and advocacy.

You can serve the children at Kate’s Club by providing a meal for one of their family programs. The size of each meal depends on which program and can be between 45 – 75 people. The responsibilities of the meal are divided into three slots. The weekend Clubhouse Programs are typically sandwiches or pizza, plus whole fruits, cookies and chips, while weekday meals are traditionally warm meals ranging from tacos or pasta to chicken casseroles or chili. Be mindful of vegetarian families and meals must be nut free and kid friendly. This is a great project for multiples families (neighbors, co-workers, etc.) To learn more, click here.

Virtual Projects for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA)

The families with patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta greatly appreciate donations that help them with their stay and allow them to focus on recovery. By creating family care/laundry kits or meal bags we can help ease the burden of unexpected visits by providing them with necessary items that they will use throughout their visit. This project is in collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. We have how-to guides that provide all of the details necessary to complete these projects:

Prepare a Meal for Youth at Covenant House

Covenant House Georgia is more than a shelter. They provide more than a bed and a meal for youth experiencing homelessness and escaping trafficking; they show unconditional love and give comprehensive support so that their youth can and will realize their fullest potential.

How can you help? By preparing a meal Covenant House is in need of volunteers to prepare and share a meal every day of the week. This is a wonderful opportunity for families, corporate groups, church groups and individuals to impact the lives of homeless youth. Fifty-seven percent of homeless youth spend at least one day a month without food, so even a simple meal can begin the healing process for a young person.

Kits for Helping Mamas

Helping Mamas is the baby supply bank for Georgia. They connect helping mamas to mamas needing help. They collect and distribute essential child and baby items throughout Georgia. Volunteers can help virtually by creating a variety of kits for newborns through 12 years old. Click here for more details and to register.

Meal Brigade for Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities (ARMHC)

At this time, due to the medically fragile nature of the families the ARMHC serves and the health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, all on-site volunteer opportunities have been suspended. However volunteers can still support these families by providing a meal that is individually boxed and commercially prepared from a caterer, grocery store deli, or delivered from a restaurant establishment, please click here for more information.
