What’s Happening at Team Rudd Foundation
From volunteer opportunities and donation drives to community events and causes we’re proud to support, this is where you’ll find current and upcoming ways to be part of the Team Rudd ripple.
Current Opportunities
Here are the current and upcoming ways Team Rudd Foundation is showing up — through our own programs, volunteer opportunities, community events, and causes we are proud to support.
TEAM RUDD FOUNDATION PROGRAM
Hearts & Hands Toy Drive
The Hearts & Hands Toy Drive is one of Team Rudd Foundation’s signature programs, bringing holiday magic to local children and young people through the Middlesex Department of Child Protection & Permanency.
Volunteers can help by hosting a collection box, donating toys or gift cards, serving as a Collection Box Ambassador, helping with sorting and delivery, or spreading the word throughout the community.
Community Partnership in Planning
Pet Adoption Event
October 2026
Team Rudd Foundation is exploring a future pet adoption event with Powerhouse Property Experts. Details and volunteer opportunities will be shared as plans develop.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Ronald McDonald House Meal Service
December 31, 2026 | 11 AM–2 PM
Ronald McDonald House — New Brunswick, NJ
Join Team Rudd Foundation as we prepare a warm, comforting meal for families staying at Ronald McDonald House while caring for their children.
This is a meaningful opportunity to spread kindness, share good food, and help give families one less thing to worry about during a difficult time. Sometimes being a good person is as simple as showing up, cooking with love, and making someone’s day a little easier.
Space is limited to 8 team members, and there are only 6 volunteer spots available, so please reach out soon if you would like to join us.
“Not every act of kindness has to be big. Sometimes it simply begins by showing up.”
— David Aaron Rudd, Co-Founder
Ongoing Ways to Help
Not every opportunity has a date on the calendar. Some of the most meaningful ways to support Team Rudd Foundation happen behind the scenes, in everyday conversations, and through small acts of kindness that help our programs grow.
Volunteer Your Time
Help at events, assist with sorting and delivery, support donation drives, or lend a hand when special projects come together.
Share the Mission
Follow, share, post, invite, and help us spread the word about Team Rudd Foundation programs, events, and causes we support.
Host or Collect
Businesses, schools, offices, and community spaces can help by hosting collection boxes, gathering supplies, or becoming part of a future drive.
