It is cold and flu season, which means our community’s healthcare workers are working extra hard to keep us all healthy. This year, let’s turn that blizzard of germs into a blizzard of gratitude for the doctors, nurses and medical staff who care for us day after day. Together, we’ll create sweet-treat care packages and heartfelt thank you cards to brighten their winter season.

Activities

Families will enjoy an age-appropriate book about kindness and then work together to assemble sweet-treat care packages and decorate thoughtful thank you cards. When our little helpers are finished – or need a break – they can explore and play in the Little Sprouts play space.

Impact

Kids will learn that even small acts of kindness can bring joy and encouragement to people who make a big difference in our community. They’ll see how their caring actions can help strengthen and support others.

Our Partner

Children’s Wisconsin is a health care cornerstone in the Milwaukee community. Their doctors and nurses care for every aspect of a child’s health. This includes physical, social and mental well-being. But, Children’s expertise goes beyond medical knowledge. The doctors and nurses talk to children in ways they can understand. They create child-friendly environments that put kids at ease. We are excited to thank their doctors, nurses and staff for working overtime to keep our community healthy during winter flu and cold season.
