6. Arts and Crafts
 Wall of Windows – New Brunswick (NB)
Volunteers create magic in the hall of transformation on their NB campus by decorating the “Wall of Windows”.
The windows are actual glass shadow boxes built into the wall. We are able to select our own theme or work get
ideas from their Corporate Engagement team. I feel we should do something themed directly for the children if
chosen for the season. (Halloween / Fall) Or utilize our creative writing to provide words with art from Medical
Writing.
 Cards & Goodie Bags – New Brunswick & Mountainside sites (can also be done offsite)
As part of the CSH inpatient admission process, each family receives a welcome bag with a homemade card,
personal toiletries, snacks and a deck of playing cards. We can come up with something to provide for the kids to
show them MW and Bayer cares.

CSH will work with us
to select an activity or
even design one for
our group. I have
been in touch with the
community
engagement manager,
to provide the
mentioned options
that might be perfect
options for our
volunteerism time.
CSH usually helps
to create a custom
agenda that would
include a
personalized
presentation and
tour for our group.
The minimal size we
need to have
confirm is 5 people
and the maximum
they can
accommodate is 75.
(this is by site)
CSH can even travel
to us here in
Whippany if
needed, in this case
we will be limited
on what activities
are available
How CSH will work with MW
