It is more important than ever that a family's time together is well-spent. The Family Volunteer Program is an innovative initiative that engages families in volunteer service. Family members are able to spend quality time together while helping to meet the important needs in our South Florida community. Through volunteering, family members can use their unique talents and skills, and have the opportunity to see each other in a different light than they do at home. Family and community bonds are strengthened as a result.
Projects are available that address a wide variety of issues.
Most volunteer work is done on-site, but some can be done at home such as making sojourn bears for cancer patients. Hands On Miami schedules family volunteer projects in the evenings and on weekends and project calendars are available. Hands On Miami participated in the first annual National Family Volunteer Day on November 20, 1999. 100 family volunteers turned out to assemble Thanksgiving baskets for more than 200 families served by YWCA . 3250 SW 3rd Ave.
