At Home Superhero Volunteer Opportunities During COVID-19

Fill a Heart 4 Kids is asking for penpal friends and superheroes to comfort homeless and foster children during COVID-19.

Superhero Challenge for Fill a Heart 4 Kids

Here’s How the Program Works:

1) ASK YOUR CHILD TO BE PART OF PROJECT PENPAL and make happy, colorful cards with drawings, doodles and special messages. Send a picture of the cards to info@fillaheart4kids.org or post the cards to Facebook and Instagram and tag @fillaheart4kids. FAH4K will share your cards with kids living in foster facilities and homeless sites to help comfort kids who are alone and isolated.

2) HELP YOUR KIDS BE JUNIOR SUPERHEROES! Have them email letters to family and friends as an uplifting educational project to help raise funds for local homeless kids! Their monetary donation will immediately help homeless kids in crisis during this pandemic! To donate: www.fillaheart4kids.org

3) WITH YOUR HELP THE BUNNY IS STILL COMING! We are collecting donations for Project Hop for children living in group facilities without families. Your $15 will feed a child and help them feel loved & remembered during this difficult time.

Why Is This Important?

For those of us who have families, homes, comfort, and lots of time - it’s important to help kids who are struggling without the support of any family! Right now, there are thousands of decisions regarding foster and homeless children that are on hold, leaving them feeling scared and alone. The Superhero Challenge is a way for families & friends to help comfort children living without families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
