Akron Children’s Volunteer Services is conducting the “Krayons for Kids” crayon collection drive for patients, in recognition of National Crayon Day on March 31.
Donations are being accepted now through March 31 for both the hospital’s Akron campus and its Mahoning Valley campus, and can be ordered via Amazon Wish Lists. (Find Akron’s here, and Mahoning Valley’s here.)
New crayons also can be dropped off at collection boxes at visitor desks on both campuses.
“Crayons are a classic arts and crafts tool that our patients make great use of during their hospital stays,” said Vicki Parisi, director of Volunteer Services. “There is also often therapeutic value to the artwork they create.”
