Camp Bangarang

Special Service Opportunity

Picture
Hopefully many of you have noticed our craft item drive that starts on Saturday, June 29th and goes until July 9th. This encompasses three events: the Welcome Brunch (June 29th), Intergenerational Storytime (July 5th), and Toy Story 4 (July 9th). If you plan to be at any of these IMP events, please consider bringing donations of new or gently used craft items for Camp Bangarang. 

​
So what is Camp Bangarang? I’m so glad you asked! It is a non-profit organization that hosts free camps in the Midwest for children who have life-threatening conditions. These camps are wonderful opportunities that many children with serious diseases wouldn’t have otherwise. The camps provide medical care and accessibility and caters to the children and families that come to them. At these camps kids can be kids despite the medical trials they are undergoing, and can make friends with other kids who understand their struggles.

The camp currently hosts camps in Iowa and in Illinois, and they are a fairly new non-profit but are filling a definite need and are growing as more people learn about their worthy cause and give donations. We love their cause and want to help, so that is why we’ve decided to give them whatever craft supplies we can gather. It might not be much, but every little bit helps! Alternatively, if you’re interested in checking out their Amazon wish list, please click here.
So please, go through your boxes of craft supplies and donate what you can! Or if you see stuff on sale, grab some extra glitter or glue or anything else and bring it to one of our events to donate. If everyone does what they can, it will make a big difference. If you aren’t able to make one of the IMP collection events, please contact Molly Sherwood at mbr.sherwood@gmail.com or through Facebook to set up a pickup time.
The camp coordinator has also expressed their desire to spread the word about the camp so that eligible children and families are aware of their organization. Please consider telling your spouse about the camp, so that they might share as they interact with appropriate patients. Thank you!
Please direct any questions to Molly Sherwood, our Philanthropy Chair.
