Care Kits for Patients and Families
Seasonal special request: We would love to build up our supplies of Sensory Kits, thank you!
When patients and families are missing the comforts of home, these kits can give them a few minutes of distraction or relaxation. Please reach out to [email protected] if you're up for a fun and meaningful project!
GUIDELINES
-
To make the kits, assemble the items in a clear zip-top bag. Some kits, like slime, require exact ingredients as listed but for most you can just include a selection of the items.
-
For the safety of our patients and families, please only include brand-new items, wash your hands, and assemble the kits in a sanitized setting.
-
We care for patients up to 18 years old and appreciate a variety of kits for kids of all ages.
-
Items should be appropriate for all audiences; please avoid religious, political or holiday themes, anything violent, and be respectful of the diversity within our community.
-
Unfortunately we are unable to accept handwritten notes for patients several reasons. Paper is a specific concern for infection control and even the most well-meaning messages can sometimes miss the mark, for instance saying "Get Well" to a child with a chronic condition. Instead, you can add a label to your kits that says something like "Made especially for you by Girl Scout Troop #22!" and/or decorate with fun stickers.
