Teens bring Thanksgiving cheer to hospital kids

Still a Kid, a student-led group of local high schoolers, is holding a Care Package Packing Event this Sunday, November 15, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Cascades Library. Volunteers will pack about [50] care packages with art supplies, crafts and other comfort items for children spending the holidays in the hospital. The packages will be delivered to Inova Fairfax hospital. We feel that when you're a kid in a hospital, everything can feel scary and unfamiliar. If a coloring book or some crafts can make a kid smile, that's totally worth it. The packing is a good photo opportunity, and Hafsa, Alice and our adult sponsor, Habiba, are available for interviews before or during the event. After the delivery we will send photos and final numbers. No patient names or photos will be shared. Details: Sunday, Nov. 15, 2:00-4:00 PM, Cascades Library.
