Kiwanis in Direct Support (KIDS) for Riley
KIDS for Riley is an exciting program at Indiana's premier children's hospital. This program is coordinated by Kiwanians to meet the needs of various hospital departments and families at Riley Hospital. Become a Kiwanian in Direct Support.
- Reach Out Indiana! is to assist families whose children are being treated the hospital. Kiwanians volunteer time to help with transportation, meals, lodging, or tasks at home whil they are caring for a sick child.
- Kiwanis-EMSC Pediatric Project - children are not just small adults, they come in all shapes and sizes! The pediatric bag is designed to give emergency responders an organized toolbox for the care of ill and injured children. Kiwanians support the project by contributing to education, equipment, and needed training facilities in their communities.
- The Kiwanis Bike Safety Program engages Kiwanians in bike rodeos, helmet giveaways, and community safety programs targeted at young children. Clubs partner with other organizations to get the job done!
- Pedal Power is an adapted bike program for children with disabilities. Please visit http://www.rileyhospital.org/document.jsp?locid=3441 for more information.
- Welcome Desk Volunteer Program - Babies need lots of attention and special care, their families do too. Kiwanians staff the welcome desk at the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Riley Hospital. Trained volunteers staff the desk and help parents find answers to every day questions.
- Banner Patch is now available - the KIDS for Riley Banner Patch is available to clubs who perform service for Riley families (outside of raising money for the annual District Project for Riley Hospital). More information, a list of opportunities, and a banner patch application contact Denny Yoder at denny@unqpete.com
