Giving is good for you. If you have graphic design skills, some time and a desire to help improve the quality of life for kids with medical challenges, charity Tender Hearts could use your help to create flyers and brochures.
This volunteer opportunity is located at the Tender Hearts location at the Stoney Batter Office Building at 5301 Limestone Rd., with the possibility of working off-site.
The Tender Hearts mission and programs, from their website:
Assist and support medically-fragile children and their families through various programs, partnerships, and fundraisers.
In Delaware, there is a high concentration of medically-fragile children due to the proximity of pediatric hospitals, including Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Children come from all across the country to receive treatment at these two facilities. Families often spend weeks to months away from their homes in order to be with their children during treatment. Sometimes parents are forced to leave their jobs or even relocate.
There is a tremendous amount of pressure on both the child and their family. The stress that their circumstances cause affects everyone, including the child, not only mentally but physically. Our goal is to offer programs such as Adopt-a-Family and Milestones that will help alleviate some of the burden families’ face.
Interested? See the listing on Volunteer Delaware or on the Tender Hearts volunteer page. Experienced grant writers and volunteer admin assistance also needed.
