Volunteer

Ways to volunteer for the Forrest Spence Fund include the following:

• Serve on a Forrest Spence 5k race committee.
• Participate in the Forrest Spence 5k Race in August.
• Serve dinner at the monthly FedEx Family House with the Forrest Spence Fund.
• Serve dinner at the quarterly LeBonheur dinner.

While these essential volunteers provide the backbone of the Fund, creativity is the key if you have the desire to help but cannot  serve at any of the above.  Here are just a few ideas to get your ideas flowing!

• Create or purchase centerpieces or decorations for the monthly FedEx Family House dinners or the quarterly LeBonheur dinners.  We use about 13 tables each time.
• At your next family or friend gathering, have each guest bring an item for a basket from the list.  You can assign a specific item to each person or choose 1 particular item and ask all guests to bring that item.
• Have a children’s book drive.
• Make and decorate notecards to be used in the baskets.  Families write their child’s name on these and place where needed in the hospital.
• Prepare a craft for children at a monthly FedEx Family House dinner.
• Collect family appropriate magazines for baskets.
• Provide baked goods for the monthly Unit Adoption Program beginning in January.
