So much work goes on behind the scenes before we show up to play, pretend, and laugh with the children that benefit from Chelsea's Closet. Our Warehouse Volunteers help us in the preparation and planning that ensures we have the perfect superhero costume for a child that needs to forget his troubles and be Batman for the day! Hospital Volunteers are in charge of delivering a costume, a craft, and a smile to the children Chelsea's Closet visits monthly at Randall and Doernbecher Children's Hospitals. Event volunteers represent the Chelsea Hicks Foundation in the community by wearing capes, painting faces, and doing crafts to spread the word about the joy and healing that play therapy can bring to children and families in any situation.
In our office and warehouse we invite you to dress comfortably and casually. At any CHF events, volunteers will be given the CHF t-shirt to represent the foundation.
