Volunteer and Support
Give Your Time. Create Joy. Change Lives.
Make a Difference Through Volunteering
Every act of kindness makes a lasting impact. At the Kristin Tomasello Foundation, we believe that when people come together to give their time, compassion, and energy, communities transform — and lives are changed forever.
Whether you’re helping a guest dance at A Night to Remember Prom, assisting with an art project at one of our Creating Hearts Events, or simply sharing a smile, your presence reminds individuals with special needs that they are valued, loved, and never alone.
Volunteer today to support children and adults with special needs.

Make a visible, direct impact in your community
