Summer Fun Program
With school out for the summer, many kids lack access to recreational resources. Our Summer Fun Program aims to provide children from low-income families with a variety of outdoor toys and activities like side walk chalk, jump ropes, kites, Frisbees, bubbles, etc. that will not only entertain but also encourage physical activity, creativity, and social interaction. If you are interested in donating any of these items to the Summer Fun Program, we will be accepting donations during our regular business hours: Monday - Thursday, between 10:00am - 2:00pm.

Thank you for considering our request to brighten the summer for deserving children!
Make Music Day is a one-day event where free, live musical performances, opportunities to make music and other musical events take place around the world on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Make Music Day Avon Lake invites community members of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions the chance to experience the joy of making music together, while serving the community.
