Caitlin's Smiles

Caitlin's Smiles A non-profit organization that provides arts & crafts activities to children in medical facilities. The mission is simple, the impact immense.

Caitlin's Smiles is dedicated to sharing smiles and laughter with children facing chronic or life-threatening illnesses. Founded in 2004 in memory of Caitlin Hornung, our non-profit distributes arts and crafts activities to children in medical facilities. We recognize children as unique individuals and strive to heighten their feelings of self-worth and lower their stress & anxiety levels by provi

ding them with opportunities to be creative and successful with a variety of creative art experiences. We provide patients with "Bag of Smiles" packages through our Creative Arts Care Program. These packages promote activities such as drawing, creative writing and sculpting. Hospital staff distributes the packages while the children are in the hospital. We provide individual arts and crafts kits to hospital departments and clinics where children wait for lengthy treatments.

Caitlin's Smiles welcomes volunteers to help send smiles to children in medical facilities. Each month we have several Volunteer Sessions scheduled.

For those who would like to volunteer during the daylight hours or would like to bring a group, please contact us at [email protected] to set up a time.

Sessions do fill quickly, however often sometimes volunteers will cancel their spots a few days prior to a session which then opens a few available spaces for others. So, keep an eye out for last minute cancellations.

If you would like to come a scheduled Volunteer Session, visit the link https://signup.com/go/KKyLNso
Children 13 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or a grandparent for the entire volunteer session.

Thanks go out to the BAPS Charities in the Harrisburg/Central PA area for choosing Caitlin's Smiles to benefit from their fundraising walk!

Their support helps to make the days better for children staying in
medical facilities by providing them with arts & crafts activities. These activities help them cope and alleviate their stress in a positive way. Coloring books, craft kits, toys, and other activities allow for a pause from the worry and rigors of medical treatments.

BAPS Charities is a global nonprofit organization committed to serving society through initiatives in health, education, humanitarian relief, and environmental protection.
