My kids get home from school very early and I'm looking for things for them to do. I would love for them to be able to help out other people and they are really responsible so they could be counted on to help.

I am going to contact chesed organizations but what realistically can my 7, 4, and 3 year olds do?

They can befriend other children who are new in the community - invite them for play dates.

Are their elderly people in your community who would enjoy a weekly visit?

Maybe a nursing home with a bit of earth that would like you kids to plant flowers?

7 yr old can read stories and play games with younger kids.
But they do need adult supervision at this age.
If you are involved in a chesed project, then they can come along and help you.
Maybe you would like to offer free baby sitting at your home, and they can help out.
Perhaps you can visit an old age home and bring them along.
And alwYs remember.
Chesed starts at home. They should all help each other and you around the house.
