Sunshine Connections connects volunteers with the needs of the community. We simply match eager and available volunteers in the area with unique and, perhaps, life-changing opportunities to help others who need an extra hand.
Sunshine Connections has partnered with youshare.org to connect families with critical needs to people who can fulfill those needs. It’s an opportunity for people to share their resources and develop relationships that will lead to better lives.
You will need to accept the Terms and Conditions for youshare.org then after completing an initial form, you’ll be asked to watch a brief welcome video and fill out a profile.
The profile tells us what you are able to offer other families through youshare.org. We encourage you to sit down with your family to fill out the form, taking an inventory of everyone’s talents and identifying goods and services that you can offer.
