The Pineapple Projects, one of our 2025 Grant Recipients, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming empty houses into welcoming homes for families in need within Pinellas County, Florida. They achieve this by providing essential furnishings and thoughtful interior design using donated items.
Join Us for a Meaningful Volunteer Day with The Pineapple Projects!
WCC members, let’s roll up our sleeves and make a difference! The Pineapple Projects transforms houses into homes for those in need, and we have the opportunity to help behind the scenes. Saturday April 26th 9:30 am-1:30 pm we will be participating in a PROJECT Day.
📦 What We’ll Do: Help place furniture in the home and witness the incredible reveal with the residents. This is a special chance to see firsthand how The Pineapple Project work makes a difference in transforming lives.
👟What to Bring: Wear comfy clothes (that can get a little dirty), closed-toe shoes, and bring water or snacks if needed.
💪 No special skills needed—just a heart for giving back! Whether you’re lifting boxes or organizing décor, every effort helps make a house a home. Bonus if you love hanging curtains and pictures!
Email kim.blessinger@outlook.com to sign up. We need 6-8 people to help move this family in.
