The Child Life department at Children's Mercy provide many
activities for the patients that require a tote bag or gift bag.
Some of the uses are carnival prize sacks, activity bags,
respiratory bags, and burn unit supply bags.
Would you and your group be willing to supply and decorate a
number of bags with simple happy pictures to be used for the
kids?
If you can go "one step further"…
We can give you a list of items to go in each type of bag so you
can conduct a drive at your facility to help us fill them!
