Americold Gives Back

You guessed right. Our fleet of buses is not on its way to Walt Disney World or Universal Studios. But we are going on an adventure!

We’re heading to HOME (Helping Others Make The Effort), a nonprofit organization that helps women and their children.

HOME provides supportive housing and so much more. It helps women and children succeed. It empowers moms to turn adversity into determination and ultimately long-term happiness and success. It is an oasis of hope - it's HOME.

HOME Needs Americold's HELP!

Focused on moms and their families, HOME does not have the staff, resources or time needed to take full advantage of its four-acre campus of possibilities. Time, a scorching sun and rain have worn out its paint, rotted picnic tables, rusted play and exercise playground. It's a rough gem.

400 Hearts - 800 Hands - ONE TEAM!

As a team we will tackle a variety of hands-on tasks. From painting to landscaping. We'll build garden boxes, create an outdoor classroom. Assemble picnic tables, even do some artwork. And every mom will receive a bag of groceries.

When we arrive at HOME

We'll be greeted by the HOME team and Volunteer Orlando, our project leader, when we arrive.

Then, we'll walk from our buses a very short distance to the welcome area, and you'll feel our rousing welcome HOME.

You should already know your project task, written on your name tag. Be on the lookout for a sign that identifies your task held by your task leader, and say hello!

Volunteer Support - IMPORTANT

Safety first. Help at your own pace. Do things you are comfortable doing. Take breaks whenever you wish.

Restrooms are in the Community Center building and inside a designated apartment.

Plenty of coolers with bottled water, gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, and first-aid kits are near every work area.

THANK YOU!

You have traveled from around the world to help people you don't even know. Your effort will make a long-term positive impact that will change the lives of moms and their children for years. It amounts to a 1200 hour day of doing good. Thank you Americold!
