Children – Spurring On those with Disabilities 2021
All day
June 1, 2021 – October 1, 2021
Hospitals and facilities that care for disabled children will be identified. We will reach out to obtain their “wish list” for sensory toys that can be used during Occupational Therapy to help improve the lives of children with disabilities. The “flagship” project will target Shriners Children’s Hospital. Volunteers throughout the State will be encouraged to support children with disabilities in their local communities. Those choosing to participate should contact LMC President, Jackie Steffgen 815-464-3007 or gjsteffgen@prodigy.net, a Council vote will be taken to approve funding and further information will be provided. It will be the responsibility of each project leader to identify the facility, obtain their “wish list”, recruit volunteers, shop for items and schedule the formal presentation. AT&T Pioneer Volunteer shirts will be provided to be worn at the presentations.
Shriners Children’s Hospital – 2211 North Oak Park Avenue, Chicago IL-6/14/21
