Pillowcases for Children's Hospital of Orange County

When 40 girls + adults get together you expect a lot of laughter and talking, but on Saturday, August 20th, there was also a lot of creating happening. California Rainbow along with local Buena Park Assembly worked together to make pillowcases for

the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, CHOC. The pillowcases are used
when children have MRIs. The bright colors make the image appear
clearer. This allows them to give better and more accurate diagnosis to
their
patients. Not only does it give them a better picture but it also
allows the kids feel more comfortable while getting tests done. Within
just two hours the girls of Buena Park Assembly and California Rainbow were able to make a
stunning amount of 40 pillowcases and 50 cheerful cards for the patients at CHOC!

What would a Rainbow event be without some ice-cream? Saturday was no
different because the local SoCal Helpful Honda People came and
surprised us with free ice cream! In some ways we were twinning with
them with Random Acts of Helpfulness! “It’s not a dream. FREE Ice
Cream!”

The next morning some of Buena Park Rainbow Girls, other local assemblies and a few Grand Officers,
including our Grand Worthy Advisor Heidi, went to CHOC to deliver the
pillowcases and notes. You can say that the kids at CHOC, will be
sleeping soundly with the pillowcases that the members of California
Rainbow sewed.

The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a non-profit
service organization for girls ages 8 to 20 that teaches girls to be
leaders by building confidence and public speaking skills in a safe and
fun environment. It teaches girls to help others with service to create a
better community. California Rainbow encourages and inspires youth to
come together to make a difference–like how its members joined forces to
provide 40 pillowcases for the patients of CHOC. Just think, changing
others’ lives can be as simple as making a MRI more comfortable for
patients. This is one of many service projects that local and state
Rainbow Girls get together to do.

Buena Park Assembly meets in Norwalk and includes girls and adult leaders from many local cities such as Huntington Beach, La Habra, Whittier, Seal Beach, Cerritos and Buena Park. Check out other service projects they're involved in on their social media pages:
