We are looking for compassionate volunteers to provide makeovers for children. Our volunteers visit children in their hospital rooms and provide a chance to play "dress-up". We have tiaras, lip gloss and jewelry for young girls and capes, hats and sticker tattoos for little boys. Our services help create a diversion from life in the hospital, improve their self esteem and give them a voice by allowing them to pick and choose colors.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to put a smile on the face of every child suffering from illness. We inspire hope and create a positive mental attitude for children and their families.
Description
Smiles with Style is a volunteer organization that helps hospitalized children look and feel better inside and out, thereby enabling them to have a positive outlook and improve healing. Our compassionate volunteers provide hospitalized children with small makeovers and a chance to play dress-up. Our services go beyond dropping off gifts for the children. We engage in one-on-one interactions. The physical transformation is small, but the experience provided has an immediate and lasting impact.
We have several goals in mind when interacting with the children.
- Create a fun diversion from life in the hospital
- Improve self esteem
- Give children a voice
- Provide respite for caregivers
- Provide a value added service for hospitals
