Coloring Book Drive - Going on NOW! 2023/2024
Help Caitlin’s Smiles Collect 33,000 Coloring Books for Children in Medical Facilities!
33,000 children in hospitals received coloring activities from Caitlin’s Smiles last year. Coloring activities go out through our Bag of Smiles and Coping Kit programs. Bags of Smiles are sent to hospitals to give to children staying overnight. Coping Kits are provided for kids who are spending time in clinics, emergency departments, and other medical offices. Coloring provides a calming activity for pediatric patients.
The coloring books that we receive through donations go out to the hospitals as quickly as they come through the door. Coloring books are needed for kids of all ages (age 2- 17). This is where you can help. Supporters are asked to have coloring book collections at their workplaces, places of worship, clubs, schools, neighborhoods and anywhere else you can think of. Plan a coloring book drive for the holidays. MLK Day of Service or another holiday/event. Please include adult coloring books for the teenaged pediatric patients. Please NO coloring books featuring holidays or religion.
