Straightforward text describes various ways that children can help those in need: through knitting hats for the homeless, tending a community garden that donates its produce, etc. Young readers may find the text cumulatively leaden, but they'll pore over the color photos--they're unpolished, befitting the subject matter--featuring kids hard at work but gleefully throwing themselves into community service.
