Why the St. Luke’s Activity Bags Matter
Hospital visits can be stressful for children and their families. Activity bags offer a small but meaningful source of comfort, distraction, and engagement during an unfamiliar experience.
This project allows volunteers to create high-quality, reusable bags that hold games, coloring supplies, and comfort items distributed through St. Luke’s. Every bag sewn supports young patients while strengthening community partnerships.
Each bag sewn supports children and families by:
- Providing comfort during hospital visits
- Supporting child-focused care environments
- Encouraging creativity and engagement
- Strengthening partnerships with local healthcare providers
