Art/Inspiring Journals
2 hand-binded journals = 1 service hour
4 decorated store-bought journals = 1 service hour
Craft beautiful journals that recipients would be able to use as appointment planners, symptom trackers, or simply coloring books. The covers and perhaps a few pages inside could be spaces for volunteers to draw outlines or artwork, write inspiring messages, etc. They could be bound in a number of different ways (by strings, ropes, binder rings, etc.).
We also accept decorated store-bought journals for service hours. The outside covers must be decorated with art and/or inspiring quotes. The inside pages can be optionally decorated with calendars, activity or coloring pages, inspiring messages, etc.
