Who: You can bring kids, family, friends -- many other local bloggers and their kids will be there too!
What: Fun, Hebrew National hotdogs, friends, a service project (details below)
There will be LOTS to do and enjoy -- music, giant puzzles, a mechanical bull and other activites for kids and families, too!
Service projects:
1) In-kind diaper donation drive to benefit local Help A Mother Out organizations. Please bring diapers with you to donate at the Picnic!
2) "Sibling Kits" to donate to local hospitals Wake Med Children's and Duke/UNC Children's
We will decorate canvas bags and write a note of support to put inside. Then we will fill the bags with appropriate toys and activities. The siblings of hospitalized children rarely receive activity kits of this type while they wait at the hospital and we've determined an unmet need is taking a little extra care of the other kids in the families, too. We are very excited about this project.
There is an opportunity to make in-kind donations for the sibling kit project, as well.
Suggested items to donate for sibling kits for children's hospitals:
stickers
crayons
colored pencils
paint by number kit
activity books (like word find, connect the dot, etc.)
coloring book
plain drawing paper
yo-yo
Playdoh
notepad and stamper
playing cards
comic books
