Project Sunshine

What is Project Sunshine?

Project Sunshine is passionate about kids and big fans of fun and making every day and every smile count. We achieve this goal through various activities, all with the purpose of bringing joy to those who truly need it. We put together "Sending Sunshine" kits with supplies, toys, arts, and crafts for children to use while staying in pediatric hospitals around the country. We also partner directly with hospitals to be able to visit pediatric patients and interact with them in person, playing games, making arts and crafts, or anything to possibly help brighten their day. Volunteers will be able to help with any number of these activities, lifting an underserved population that truly needs joy, laughter, and light in some of their darkest times.

How do I get involved?

Volunteer Description: Volunteers will participate in various activities to help kids in pediatric medical facilities. They also make kits and send letters to kids needing love and hope.
Upcoming events will be posted here and on the Y-Serve Calendar. Contact the program leaders below with any questions.
