It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: a trip to the hospital with a sick or injured child. At times like these, parents can only think about helping the child who is suffering, and so frequently families arrive at the hospital unprepared to spend the night.

To help these families, GHCU is accepting donations of travel-sized hygiene products which will be given to the families of children undergoing treatment at Seattle Children’s hospital. Please feel free to stop by and contribute toothbrushes and toothpaste, etc. [See list below] Drop-off boxes have been placed in each branch and will be available for donations through the end of August. Please be sure the products are new and unopened. We are also accepting cash donations to be applied to the purchase of these products.

When a child is sick or hurt, having fresh breath is likely the last thing on a parent’s mind. But it’s amazing what a difference these little creature comforts can make on attitude and morale. If having clean teeth makes it a little easier to smile, then GHCU, its members and the community are here to help.

GHCU is now accepting donations of brand-new, unopened:

• toothbrushes
• toothpaste
• deodorant
• shaving cream
• razors
• non-perishable snacks like granola bars, crackers, cookies, etc.
• books for kids, esp. books in other languages (Spanish)
