Once packed, the bags are placed back into the Happy Hope Box and it is sealed and shipped using a pre-paid UPS shipping label. These boxes are sent to a local hospitals, hospices and non-profit partner.
Happy Hope Boxes typically take a team of 5 approximately 3 hours to complete. Larger teams will complete boxes faster, or order extra boxes for large team events!
Happy Hope Boxes are available for a tax-deductible donation of $500/each, which covers all supplies plus shipping to your location and to the recipient hospital.
Pop-up Happy Hope Factory
Experience the magic of the Happy Hope Factory through one-of-a-kind Pop-up Happy Hope Factory volunteer events. These are inspiring day of service and teambuilding opportunities that welcome volunteers of all skill levels to assemble and pack Happy Hope Bags. Each finished bag contains a number of activities to be assembled, created, or packed; volunteers at these events have the opportunity to rotate through stations, completing each component that will be eventually placed in a finished bag. The event concludes with a packing line, where volunteers then assemble Happy Hope Bags with the products created that day. All Happy Hope Bags are then shipped to a local hospital or other facility to benefit children receiving care in that community.
We offer a Variety of Happy Hope Bags that your team can pack and send to a local hospital. Bags are available for a tax-deductible donation ranging from $5-50 per unit.
To get started, tell us how many volunteers you will have, the amount of time you will have to pack Happy Hope Bags, and your budget. We will work with you to design an amazing day of service for your team!
For a truly turnkey event, Happy Hope Foundation team members will travel to you to assist on-site with all aspects of your day of service event.
What's included in the Happy Hope Bags®?
Each kit level provides a note of encouragement and different gifts to bring smiles to children's faces. The longer their hospital stay, the more joy they receive. We include items such as crayons, coloring books, activity kits, playing cards, bubbles, pinwheels and other engaging craft projects.
What do we do after we pack the Happy Hope Bags®?
Once all of the Happy Hope Bags® are packed and ready, we’ll take care of ensuring your donation is sent to children who are in need of happiness, joy, and hope. Your Happy Hope Bags® will be directed to your local hospital or pediatric facility in your community. The Message of Hope Foundation® provides everything you need for shipping via UPS.
