That’s the goal of Caitlin’s Smiles—to provide comfort and plenty of smiles to chronically ill children. Located on N. 6th Street in Harrisburg, the organization and its army of volunteers create and distribute bags of craft supplies to children in more than 70 hospitals, from New York to South Carolina.
Among the rustling of Ziploc bags, the measuring of yarn and the counting of pom-poms, students from SciTech High School recently discussed their monthly experience volunteering at the facility.
