Pediatric Patient Activity Kits Project 

Volunteers will assemble individualized packages that contain the supplies needed for a pediatric patient to complete an engaging and therapeutic craft activity during their hospital stay. Activity kits deliver safe, creative play directly to children. The materials bring joy and provide therapeutic value to the physical and emotional healing process of a child.


Project Sunshine harnesses the healing powers of play and connection to help children and their families manage the stress, isolation, and anxiety that comes with childhood medical challenges. Project Sunshine brings volunteer-led programming to pediatric patients and their families in a variety of medical settings. For over 20 years, Project Sunshine volunteers have brought joy and play directly to pediatric patients through in-person programming with our network of hospitals and medical facility partners across the country as well as our kit packing program. We recognize the tremendous weight of managing a child’s illness or injury, whether it requires short-term or long-term care. Every child with a medical challenge is unique, and our programs seek to adapt to the individual needs of each child. Project Sunshine’s mission is simple: Bringing joy and play to pediatric patients.

Hunger Free America is a nonpartisan, national nonprofit group working to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food. We are both a direct service and advocacy organization — with each component strengthening the other. As a direct service provider, we assist low-income families obtain aid from government programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — formerly called the Food Stamp program — and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program so that people struggling to pay their bills have access to nutritious food. Because our staff works daily on the front lines of hunger, and because we empower low-income people to speak out on their own behalf, that makes us one of the nation's most effective advocates for improved economic and public policies.

Start Small Think Big

We do this by activating and engaging a top-tier network of professional volunteers who provide high-quality legal, financial and marketing services, at no cost.

Learn More

  • VIRTUAL VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES:

 

  • Brand Assessment Sessions: These are one-hour long consultations focused on helping an entrepreneur better position their product or service to attract customers during this difficult time. Volunteers will use worksheets (provided pre-event) to gather feedback for the entrepreneur on both their brand and overall messaging tactics as represented on social media and their website. The brand feedback will focus on its consistency, look and feel, as well as how the business can align the brand’s voice better given its target audience. This would be a good fit for volunteers who can provide more general business consulting, with a marketing focus.

 

  • Website Audit Session: This one-hour long consultation focuses on helping an entrepreneur better position their product or service to attract customers during this difficult time. Given that the majority of activity and sales are moving online, entrepreneurs need help ensuring their websites are user-friendly and appealing to their target audience. These projects are designed to provide feedback on the layout, functionality, visual design, content and other features to improve the overall website experience. This would be a good fit for volunteers with expertise in tech or UX/UI.

 

  • Sales Optimization Session: This one-hour long consultation focuses on helping an entrepreneur better position their product or service to attract customers during this difficult time. Many of our entrepreneurs’ existing business models may not be set up to function without in-person interactions. In order to generate sales and keep their businesses operating, they are now challenged with adapting and innovating their existing offering to meet current needs. These projects focus on identifying new sales and distribution channels to help entrepreneurs continue staying in business during and after this crisis.This would be a good fit for volunteers with expertise in sales.
