Volunteer With PNN!



According to the US Census Bureau, Philadelphia has the highest poverty rate among the nation’s ten largest cities. That means 1 in 4 Philadelphians live in poverty with over 100,000 of those being kids. Volunteering and donating in your neighborhood can help change those statistics. Over the years, PNN has encouraged nannies to bring clothing, toys, and everyday supplies to our get togethers so they could be donated to Cradles to Crayons, an organization with the mission of providing children ages 0 to 12 some of the most important basics of life—free of charge. This year, we have taken it one step further and made it our mission to not only donate goods, but to volunteer. With the generous help of PNN’s Volunteer Liaison, Ellen Owen, we geared up for the challenge. On January 9th, Ellen, along with PNN staff and nannies, volunteered at our local Cradles to Crayons in Conshohocken to help clean toys and other supplies for children in need. On February 13th, Ellen is organizing a second volunteer event. Now is the time to help provide children newborns through 12 years living in low-income situations thrive at home and in school. Working at a volunteer station such as Clothing Sort, Outfits, School Supplies, Shoes, Toys, or Shopping, for two hours, gives a valuable gift to those in need.
