We partner with transitional housing and emergency shelters across the city, where we create safe and fun play spaces in the shelters where the children live. More than 200 weekly volunteers dedicate their time, serving as playmates and mentors to children from 6 months to 12 years old. Learn more.
News & Notes
With your support we will continue to be there for the families that need us the most in our city. Happy #GivingTuesdayNOW!
Playtime has opted to make the spring edition of The Play Times, our quarterly print newsletter, available online instead of mailing it to our generous donors.
Though the world has suddenly changed, I’m proud of how our volunteers, supporters, board, and staff have stepped up to adapt to ensure children keep playing, and that parents will continue to get the support they need to weather this pandemic.
