Warren Coalition

Children & Families Committee
2024-04-25 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Virginia
We work with organizations across Warren County to address the needs of our children, from healthy eating and exercise to drug education and building resilience skills. The work of this committee is event-focused, because the best way to teach children is to help them have fun while learning. Events include Resilience Bingo and Celebrate Kids Day, among others. This meeting is virtual. Email christa@warrencoalition.org to request the link.

Warren County Rocks Scavenger Hunt
2024-04-28 12:30 - 16:30 | Virginia
Our participants had so much fun last year (and so did we!) that we decided to do another Scavenger Hunt competition this year! We’ll have a new location, new clues, and new challenges–and a new championship rock for the taking! Can anyone beat last year’s champions, Rocking for the Weekend?

Learn More

What’s the scavenger hunt like, you ask? Well, imagine puzzles of all kinds–a crossword, a cryptogram, a riddle–that you and your teammate(s)/family must solve. They lead you to a location where you search for special affirmation rocks. Once you find one, you then complete a challenge–throwing a pool noodle through a hula hoop, or playing a few rounds of Jenga as fast as you can, for example–which earns you points. When you’re done, you get your next puzzle, and on you go!

Come join in the fun! The registration fee is a minimum of $100, but you can request sponsors, just as you would in a walk-a-thon. We even have a few folks waiting in the wings to provide contributions and make sure each team gets to that magic number of $100!

Fundraising Drive for Emergency Shelter for Women & Children
2024-05-12 08:00 - 2024-05-24 12:00 | Virginia
Make a donation and you’ll be entered into a drawing for some great prizes! Together with other local agencies, we are requesting donations to support the homeless women and children in our community! Because there is currently no facility for them, we use the funds to place them in local motels for a few weeks while they seek long-term housing.

We have more than a dozen gift cards and prizes, including handmade blanket, a picnic basket set, wine, and more. And yes, you can win multiple prizes! A $5 donation receives 1 prize entry, $20 receives 5 entries. The more you donate, the more entries you receive! To support the women and children in Warren County, go to our donation page and in the notes section of the donation form, select “Emergency Shelter for Women and Children.” You can also drop off a check (made out to Warren Coalition) to the Warren Coalition Offices at 538 Villa Ave. (If we aren’t there, slip it under the door.)

Remember, the drawing will take place this Friday, May 24th, at 12 noon!

Our partners in this endeavor are:
