December Donations - Penn State Children’s Hospital!

As mentioned in our last blog post, we planned a donation for the end of December/beginning of January. We were gladly able to donate to Penn State Children’s Hospital through the Child Life Donations Program! Makenna contacted Penn State’s Children’s Hospital many months ago, so finally completing the donation was truly amazing. We were able to donate 30 self care bags, which each included a Squish-mallow stuffed animal, journal, pen, and a children’s book. With that, we also included handwritten notes from the DECA members of Sherando High School, which included kind and inspirational notes targeted towards long-term hospital patients. Thank you to everyone who got involved with this donation, it was truly great. This was definitely farther than our local community in Virginia, but seeing the excitement of the nurse when we filled the cart up with bags was so rewarding. Look forward to our January donations recognizing Cervical Health Awareness month. We have yet to solicit the exact hospital we’re donating to, so stay tuned. Until next time!
