What can you tell me about some service events we do?
SERVICE PROJECTS
Looking for more ways to help Operation Smile? We need community volunteers to mobilize their friends and family to sew, collect or prepare specific supplies that we need on our medical missions. You can help by making these items yourself, or leading a collection at your office, school or place of worship. When generous hearts come together, everyone can help heal children’s smiles.
Urgent Need:
If you are able to support Operation Smile through these Service Projects, we currently have an urgent need for the following Items:
sample size toothpaste (at least 6 months from expiration date)
child size toothbrush
thin 8 ½ x 11 coloring book
8 count box of crayons
Liquid bubbles
Puzzles
Pull toys
SMILE BAGS
After receiving life-transforming surgery, each child receives a Smile Bag bursting with goodies - the perfect gift to cheer up a healing child. Smile Bags are filled with small-sized personal care items plus toys, stickers and a mirror to see their new smile. We need community volunteers to collect the personal care items and sew cloth Smile Bags. Please ship empty Smile Bags. Operation Smile has a volunteer staff that fills the Smile Bags which ensures that each child on the same medical mission receives the same items.
