Each year; Helperutnity supports local volunteers in reaching out to nursing homes, care facilities, and transitional shelters around the Christmas holiday, as well as helping the facility residents with reaching back and blessing their community in creative ways.
When Chanda first met Helpertunity, she enjoyed our games and social events so much, that she decided to volunteer and spread the joy to others in her community. From serving Orlando's Homeless, to visiting the nearby Nursing Home, to starting a program to help Veterans in her neighborhood, Chanda has inspired Helpertunity as much as we first inspired her!
In 2020 Helpertunity realized that all of its kit-packing projects were producing an excessive amount of plastic bags. So, the charity began looking for fun ways to recycle and upcycle waste plastics. Today, volunteers help hand pack plastic bottles with clean, dry plastic bags and wrappers. After turning these bottles into bricks they are used to make practical and decorative items.
