Current Projects

January 2026: Comfort Totes

This January, HandsOn South Florida invites you to support Dec My Room by helping create personalized Comfort Totes for patients experiencing long hospital stays. Volunteers will prepare comfort items and write encouraging notes that help transform hospital rooms into welcoming, uplifting spaces. These small acts of care make a meaningful difference in a patient’s emotional well-being and healing journey. Join us in bringing comfort, joy, and hope when it’s needed most.

February 2026: Shark Pantry Totes

The Shark Pantry serves as a vital resource for all active Nova Southeastern University’s undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, providing non-perishable food items. This month’s DIY project invites volunteers to collect items and assemble Hunger Action Totes for the students being served by Shark Pantry.
