Have you ever wondered how a cherished doll can be brought back to life for a new child to love? Joy Doll Restoration Day is your chance to be part of that transformation.

Join the Fredericksburg community for a hands-on volunteer event restoring American Girl dolls that will be gifted to children in crisis in 2026.

📅Saturday, March 28, from 10 AM–6 PM 

📍American Legion Post 55 

Ages: 14 to adult

This immersive experience includes:

  • Cleaning and refreshing dolls
  • Washing and styling hair
  • Sewing and repairs
  • Restringing and shaping dolls
  • Assembling gift boxes

This event is perfect for anyone who enjoys hands-on work—especially hairstylists, crafters, and doll lovers looking to give back in a meaningful way.

As Easter approaches, it’s a beautiful reminder of restoration and renewal—and a chance to make a real impact. This event also kicks off a nationwide effort to restore dolls for children in need.
