URGENT - Family Packs Needed
Are you looking for a project for your group or organization? We have a need
for “family packs” – a Ziploc bag (7-8 inches or 1 quart)
full of small toiletries and personal hygiene items. Travel size items are desired
for convenience-toothbrushes, small toothpastes, mouthwash, combs, soaps, shampoo/conditioners,
lotions, deodorants, razors, and small sewing kits. Small writing tablets and
ink pens are also appreciated. These items are provided to our parents and caregivers
who have a need for them during their hospital stay. If you would like to donate
these items, please email or call our office for more information (volunteerservices@archildrens.org or 501-364-1825).
Items Needed for ACH's Burn Center Many of our Burn Center patients have long stays here at ACH. Your group or organization can help make their stay a little more comfortable by providing certain supplies! Our Burn Center treats both adult and pediatric patients, so we need activities to occupy a wide age-range of patients. Toiletry items (soaps, lotions, etc.), VHS tapes or DVDs, portable CD players, music CDs, phone cards, pajamas (preferably button-down), robes, and slippers can help make a patient's stay more comfortable. Scarves, hats, gloves, and even picture frames make great gifts for these patients as well. Please contact Volunteer Services (volunteerservices@archildrens.org or 501-364-1825) with any questions.
Clothing Needed for Emergency Department
Many times children in our Emergency Department have been involved in an accident or other event and need comfortable, non-binding clothing to go home in. Your group or organization can help supply us with these clothing items! We are in need of shorts and solid-colored T-shirts (child and adult sizes, neutral colors for boys and girls). Please contact Volunteer Services (volunteerservices@archildrens.org or 501-364-1825) with any questions!
Isolation Activity Kits Many of our patients enjoy having activities to do while in their
rooms. Your group or organization can put together Activity Packets for our
patients to enjoy in their rooms. Please see the item descriptions and pictures
below for each age group. The items can be placed in a small tote bag or in
a large ziploc bag to donate to ACH. Please contact Volunteer Services at volunteerservices@archildrens.org with
any questions!

Comfort Food Comfort Food is a new program at ACH designed to assist families. Groups
can donate pre-packaged food for our ICU waiting rooms. A cookie, a sandwich,
or even a warm dinner has the ability to help parents of critically-ill patients
manage through difficult times. It offers them not only sustenance, but an opportunity
to take a break from their stressors and share a moment with others in similar
situations. Our goal at ACH is to partner with our neighbors in the community
to meet these parents’ needs. There are various ways to participate in
this program and offer support to our parents. If you (or your community group)
are interested in the program, you can set your own level of involvement in
the Comfort Food program. You may opt to contribute once, or even see a monthly
event as a more suitable volunteer opportunity. Please contact Volunteer Services
(volunteerservices@archildrens.org
or 501-364-1825) to find out more about program participation options.
Needlework Items Needed
We have a need for solid colored blankets/quilts approximately 36" by 48".
These blankets will be used for children's craft projects. We are also in need
of blankets and quilts of all sizes, pillows, large boppers, and solid-colored
tote canvas bags (16-18” wide by 20-22” tall with an 8” gusset
- muslin or solid-colored bags preferred). Also, in light of the upcoming Holiday
season, we will be in need of stockings. The pattern for this stocking is specific. Click here to see the patterns and read more
information about our needlework needs. Please email volunteerservices@archildrens.org
or call 501-364-1825 with any questions.
Mock Party
Host a mock party for your organization or group, request that your guests bring
gifts suitable for children, and then donate gifts to ACH. You may host any
of the suggested mock parties (Sweet Sixteen, Un-Birthday Parties, or Baby Showers).
. .or even create one of your own!
Seasonal Projects Some of Arkansas Children's Hospital’s projects are short-term or
seasonal and may be outdoors such as landscaping, clean-up or painting. They
may also be inside projects such as cleaning playrooms, toys or assisting with
holiday decorations. These projects are very important to ACH and help us complete
larger tasks in a timely manner. These tasks contribute to an improved overall
appearance of the hospital, which creates a very pleasant environment for our
patients and their families.
