the children’s guild
The Children’s Guild is Five Acres’ flagship volunteer program and a special community of people who show children that they are cared for, remembered and celebrated.
Throughout the year, Guild members help create moments of joy and connection, from birthday celebrations and summer book club activities to holiday drives and special events like the Five Acres Golf Classic and Annual Gala.
It’s more than volunteering. It’s showing up, lending a hand and helping make special moments possible for children at Five Acres.
Annual membership dues are $100. Join the Children’s Guild and help bring more joy to a child’s year.

be a part of something special
Love bringing people together? There are plenty of ways to lend a hand at Five Acres. Help behind the scenes at special events like our Annual Gala, Golf Classic, holiday toy drive and more or join an event planning committee and help make it all happen.
No annual dues just a willingness to help make a difference for children and families.
