Discovery is committed to the Colorado Community. Last quarter Discovery sent two teams on two afternoons to the Children’s Hospital of Colorado. The Hospital offers many avenues for potential volunteers to get involved. During our visit(s), we spent time with both children and parents in the hospital. The volunteer coordinators had set up several tables in a high-traffic area of the hospital lobby. The tables were loaded with all sorts of arts and crafts materials. Our Discovery team members reached out to children and parents alike and encouraged them to join us for some arts and crafts.
The intention of this activity was to help distract both children and adults from their current, sometimes unfortunate, situation. We worked for several hours each day to put smiles on as many faces as we saw. The event was a great success. So much so, that we plan to revisit this volunteer event more than once a year. We encourage you to get involved. You can reach the Children’s Hospital at (720)777-1234 or visit their website here. Take joy in giving back.
