About Project Sunshine:

Project Sunshine is a nonprofit organization that provides free, educational, recreational, and social programs to children facing medical challenges and their families.

Project Sunshine sends volunteers to visit hospitalized children to provide arts and crafts, tutoring, reading, nutritional cooking and special events. With 250 chapters in 33 states and 75 cities across the United States, Canada, China, Israel, Kenya, and Puerto Rico, Project Sunshine's 10,000 volunteers serve 100,000 children and families each year.

Project Sunshine works with each hospital to determine where our help is needed most and sends chapters of volunteers to fill these needs. Chapters are comprised of a core group of individuals who volunteer their time, energy and talents to provide services for hospitalized children. Our volunteers are a diverse group of college students, lawyers, teachers, and individuals of all backgrounds and ages. Chapters range in size from as few as five volunteers to as many as 300. Project Sunshine encourages volunteers to participate as often as they feel comfortable, whether it is several days a week, once a month, or at special service events once per year.
