ACTO brought 60 builders together for an in-person session to assemble Children’s Hospital Activity Bags, kits designed to give hospitalized kids something to do during long stays.
How it worked
The team ran the event self-hosted, using a Project Helping intro video to kick things off before builders got to work. Each person assembled an individual kit, and the kits included custom touches specific to ACTO. Project Helping set up the program, shipped all 60 kits with everything needed to build them, and included the facilitator guide and instructions so the team could run the session on their own. Once the bags were finished, ACTO shipped them back to Project Helping using a prepaid label, and Project Helping handled delivery to a nonprofit in its recipient network. ACTO also received an impact report afterward, and each kit carried a registration code so builders could see where their kit went.
The finished Activity Bags went through Project Helping’s nonprofit network to reach kids in the hospital, giving them something to do that isn’t about being a patient for a while. Any team looking for a self-hosted, in-person project with a clear cause can run a program like this one.
