Volunteer Interests:

    (please check all that apply)

Assist with stuffing new patient care bags when needed.

Provide pastries/treats occasionally for the clinic teas.

Assist with decorating the National Heroes Tree and Pavilion (decorating takes place in late November; the Heroes Tree event follows in early December).

Assist at a future Candlelighter's event (these vary as well as the responsibilities.  You will be contacted via email when opportunities are available).

Assist at various clinic/hospital teas by talking to those in treatment (NOTE:  This requires training through DC Candlelighters and is only open to parents/guardians who have had a child diagnosed with cancer.  The next training date TBD.  You will be contacted via email with additional information).

Providing items to include in the new patient care bags, such as shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes/toothpaste, toys, notebooks, book lights, socks (the list is endless - we supply items that families need while in the hospital),  (NOTE: This is a great opportunity for Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts to do together as a troop).

Fundraising (always welcome!!)
