Volunteer: Support Stickers for Cancer Patients

Founded by a three-time cancer survivor, Kits to Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that gives curated cancer care kits to patients and their loved ones. Our mission is to bring smiles and solidarity to those affected by cancer, one kit at a time.

6 simple hand-cut stickers may receive 1 service hour
3 complex hand-cut stickers may receive 1 service hour

Help bring cheer and motivation to cancer patients by creating custom stickers with positive messages and illustrations to be used as decorations for our cancer care kits. These stickers will serve as small but impactful tokens of encouragement, designed to uplift the spirits of those undergoing treatment.

How to Get Started

Brainstorm and create designs that incorporate positive messages, such as "You Are Strong," "Keep Fighting," and "Stay Positive," alongside uplifting illustrations like sunflowers, clouds, ocean themes, and smiling faces.  Please NO "get well soon", "keep growing", "shine", or other messages that may unintentionally cause discomfort. As with our other service projects, you are welcome to work from the comfort of your home, with your colleagues at the office, or with your friends at school! Use digital and/or traditional art techniques to draw and create the designs. If digital, the stickers should be printed on high-quality adhesive paper or using the tutorials below. For those seeking service hours, designs may only be repeated for hand-drawn stickers, not digital designs. Simple vs. complex: We defer to YOUR judgment, as it depends on how long it takes for you to design and cut out a sticker. If it takes about 20 minutes per sticker, due to thoughtful hand-drawn designs, coloring, text, shape, etc., then we would consider it complex. If it only takes about 10 minutes per sticker, with a smiley and text, for example, then that would be considered simple. Limits: We really hope for volunteers to focus less on quantity and more on quality, so while there is no limit, we do highly encourage quality to show patients we care with thoughtful artwork and text. Using pre-cut sticker labels: Creative designs and messages on pre-cut sticker labels may be eligible for 1 service hour per 10 designs. Using wax paper: We are no longer accepting stickers made on wax/parchment paper. Please consider using inexpensive sticker paper options below, such as these sticker sheets that can be cut into any shape and peeled more easily. Once completed, follow the submission steps here. They will then be distributed to cancer patients in hospitals, treatment centers, and support groups through Kits to Heart's cancer care kits.

Recommended Materials

Supplies will differ depending on the method of sticker-making. Please also refer to tutorials below.

Kits to Heart earns from qualifying Amazon purchases, which supports our mission at no extra cost to you.

For paper designs: Markers, colored pencils (please do not use only regular pencils for text), and any other art supplies you may have on hand, including a pair of scissors For digital designs: Ibis Paint (free app) Wacom Intuos Small Graphics Drawing Tablet Canon Printer Cricut Maker Bundle Sticker Paper Options: Sticker Paper, 100 Sheets, White Matte, 8.5 x 11 Silhouette Printable White Sticker Paper, 8.5"X11", 8 Count Pre-Cut Sticker Labels 30 Sheets, Printable White Sticker Paper, Laser/Inkjet Printing - Matte, Letter Size (8.5" x 11") Premium Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper for Your Inkjet and Laser Printer

Imagine a child sleeping on the floor — now imagine being the reason that child gets their very own bed. At Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), we believe no child should go without a bed, yet far too many are.

This is a short but essential role that keeps our future deliveries running smoothly and ensures we are ready for the next bed delivery.

Volunteer: Join the Animal Rescue Team

Volunteer with Humane World for Animals' (formerly called HSUS) Animal Rescue Team to help animals who are victims of illegal animal cruelty and disasters.

When the Animal Rescue Team responds - whether to a hoarding situation or dogfighting operation, hurricane or puppy mill - animal rescue volunteers at the Maryland care and rehabilitation center* assist in the on-going care of dogs, cats and other animals who have been rescued from harm.

Animal rescue volunteers come from all walks of life, generously giving their time to apply their skills and experience in response to animals in need. From animal handling and cage cleaning to administrative tasks, the work of animal rescue volunteers is at the heart of Humane World for Animals' mission to end animal suffering and cruelty.

There are 2 volunteer options:

Care Center ARV – Provide daily care and enrichment to the special populations housed at our Maryland care and rehabilitation center. Required trainings include Fear Free Shelters and a course on trauma-informed sheltering.

National ARVs: Deploy to our Maryland care and rehabilitation center or other locations as needed to provide daily care and enrichment and/or to support a Point of Distribution for emergency supplies. Specific trainings on safety, emergency management, the Incident Command System and other critical aspects of care are required.

Volunteers have an initial commitment period of one year and are requested to participate in at least one deployment per year. To help remove barriers to volunteering, approved travel expenses are paid or reimbursed by Humane World for Animals.

All volunteers must:

be at least 18 years old meet the requirements outlined in Essential Capabilities [PDF]

There is an immediate and ongoing need for volunteers. 

* Note - the location of our center in Northern Maryland is confidential, as animals in our custody who are involved in legal proceedings may be held there. It will be disclosed to volunteers prior to deployment.

Volunteers will purchase items and assemble the bags. The bag can be a reusable grocery size bag, small laundry basket, or bucket. For purposes of hygiene and dignity, we ask that all items are new, unopened and unused. Please make sure items fit into the bags and limit your donations to the items listed below. We do not have the space or capacity to accept other items. Most volunteers find it useful and cost-effective to purchase items in bulk, as long as each final product has all the necessary items in it.  We have a one-click link to make purchasing easy. Email us at volunteer@ahcinc.org for more information. Thank you!

A complete bag includes:

Dish soap (1)Hand soap (1)Bleach (1)All purpose cleaner (1)Sponge (1)Plunger (1)Trash bags (1 box)Gloves (1 pair)Paper towels (1 roll)Toilet paper (2-4 rolls)Hand towel (1)Plastic shower curtains and hooks (1 set)Bucket or laundry basket to contain other items (1)Dustpan & mini broom (optional)

We are collecting welcome baskets for properties in Montgomery County and all across the DMV. 

I want to help! What now? Please reach out to volunteer@ahcinc.org to express interest, coordinate delivery, or with any questions.

Sign up here: Welcome Bags for AHC Families

Thank you for helping welcome our new neighbors home!

Completion of this form, including the actual required signatures, is required by all volunteers to participate in this SSL opportunity.

Please do not use your MCPS email to respond with us as we cannot not reply to you via this type of email address.

This is an amazing opportunity to gain volunteer experience helping Arise and Flourish, a non-profit organization based in Montgomery County, Maryland that speaks to students about substance use and misuse.  During the last ten years, Arise and Flourish has paved the way through public and private schools on educating our youth of the dangers associated with addiction. Our program delivers a robust and real-life look into the cycle of addiction and provides an understanding, knowledge and insight on how to exercise prevention. Arise and Flourish’s family of dedicated volunteers have delivered our program to more than 350 schools and have reached over 44,000 students with our impactful message of prevention and hope. In addition to our visits to schools, we are also asking for the student’s assistance to continue the education of addiction and prevention through SSL hours. 

What students will do:

Student will first need to complete the volunteer form/parent/guardian permission slip and submit via to e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org. Please note that MCPS has not vetted the YouTube videos created by our organization and parents/guardians are responsible for previewing the videos and then providing parent permission for their students to view the videos.

Once approved, students will watch two video presentations provided by our organization. 

One video is our speakers who are people in recovery who share their personal experience The second video is the presentation on the cycle of addiction which has information on how addiction happens. 

Students can obtain SSL hours in two ways:

Write a 2-page paper on their understanding of drug and alcohol prevention on the information received from the two videos. Papers will only be reviewed by our organization. Create an art project, including a paragraph explaining their artwork, based upon their understanding of prevention on the information they received from the videos. Art projects might be shared on our social media platforms so please review the privacy information below when submitting your project.

How to earn community service hours (SSL):

Students have the ability to earn 1 SSL hour for the quality completion of this project and can earn up to 4 SSL hours in total (cumulative - not per year) for each speaker video watched and paper written (up to 4 speaker videos along with the one video for the cycle of addiction).

When your paper or art project is complete, e-mail info@ariseandflourish.org your 2-page paper or an electronic copy of your art project and paragraph to collect your signed SSL sheet for this project. Students will need to cc their parents as well on the email submission. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive your signed SSL form.

Privacy:

Please, do not share any pictures or likeness of the students as well as personal information such as home address, email or phone number etc. in your paper or artwork. Also, please do not include any real-life pictures or images of yourself. We ask that students include their first name, grade and school only on each submission.

Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients.

Volunteer: Student volunteers needed to develop life improving technologies

We are looking for a talented team of High School and Middle School Students to develop projects which will help those who have impairment and medical needs.

We are looking for a talented team to met to develop projects which will help those who have impairment and medical needs. Project concepts can cover the full range of available options to incorporate skill in 3d printing, robotics, design, programming, medical and nursing care and other areas to serve the practical needs of those with disabilities or medical needs in our community.

It would be helpful to have volunteers remain active with the meetings throughout the 2025/2026 school year as it would help with the continuity of the development of the projects.

We are planning to meet weekly at Rockville Public Library or Potomac Public Library.  Participants should have an interest in helping others and some experience in one or more of the areas mentioned above. The initial meetings will be about concepts and we will collectively work to design solutions. At that point we will work with the target community of individuals who are intended to benefit from the project to further refine and test the solution.

We will be meeting Tuesdays at 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm weekly at Rockville Public Library during the 2025/2026 school year.
