Community Support Opportunities

Boredom Buster Bags are individualized bags centered around bringing fun and distraction to patients in need. 

On our online wish list, we have an assortment of boredom-busting items including:

• Coloring Books
• Crayons
• Word Puzzles/Sudoku
• Rubix Cubes
• Fidget Toys
• Legos
• Model Magic

Outside volunteers can help by organizing fundraisers, collecting these fun items and taking the time to package them as a boredom buster bag.

Once bags are created, please mail donation to the Volunteer Services office or email Volunteer Services to schedule a drop-off.

Mail donations to: 

• Children's National Hospital
  Attn: Volunteer Services Office, Suite 1180

Coloring packets consisting of a few coloring pages, crayons and even stickers, in a Ziploc bag are the perfect handout for patients. Deconstruct a coloring book or print from the Crayola website.

Once packets are created, please mail donation to the Volunteer Services office or email Volunteer Services to schedule a drop-off.
