SEE GIVING

How it works is people visit the Light the World Giving Machine and select an item to purchase — quite literally as one would do from any vending machine.

All the items benefi t a charity, with four of the six being local nonprofi ts.

The four local charities are: The Crowley Foundation, which mentors young men of color; the Denver Rescue Mission, which helps people experiencing homelessness; JFS, also known as Jewish Family Service, which helps provide food security and housing stability to families in need; and Project Worthmore, which helps refugee families re-settle. The two international charities are: CARE, which helps women and girls globally defeat poverty and achieve social justice; and UNHCR: The UN Refugee Agency, which helps safeguard the rights and well-being of people forced to fl ee confl ict or persecution.

The Giving Machines offer a variety of items that can be purchased to help support the abovementioned charities — backpacks and school supplies, bus passes, mental health counseling, ESL and citizenship courses, goats and chickens to help feed a family in a developing country, a handwashing station to serve a community in a developing country, to name just some of the items available.

“The charities have committed to use the money (that people put in the Giving Machine) to purchase the item,” Johnson said. “They can be confi dent that the item they purchase will go to a person who needs it.”

Whether it be a winter coat or hygiene products, by donating items through the Giving Machine, people are able to provide hope and a sense of security to someone, said Nicole Tschetter, public relations manager for the Denver Rescue Mission.

“The Giving Machines are a festive and one-of-a-kind way to support the (Denver Rescue) Mission and everyone we serve,” Tschetter said. “Our community has shown us time and time again, that when we come together, we can accomplish remarkable things.”

Hospital o ers mask ideas for getting kids to cooperate

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While children as a group have been shown to be at lower risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19, they can still spread the virus, according to Children’s Hospital Colorado.

“Most kids over age 2 can — and should — wear face coverings to help keep themselves and their family and friends safe,” the hospital system’s website says.

For parents who are struggling with getting a younger child to wear a mask, Children’s Hospital Colorado offers the following tips: • Comfort your child and help them feel safe: Ask them what about the mask they don’t like. Having a better understanding of what they don’t like can help you fi gure out how best to address the issue. • Start slowly: Begin by having your child practice wearing their face covering for short spurts of time during an activity they enjoy. For example, have your child wear a mask for 10 minutes while they play with their favorite toy. • Try different designs and styles: Cloth face coverings vary signifi cantly, so you might have more success with a different type of mask based on style, material, fi t, tie style, size and so on. • Some masks have adjustable elastic, which can help ensure a better fi t for your child. If the mask secures around their ears, putting a thick lotion or Vaseline behind the ears can prevent the ears from getting irritated. Many kids don’t like the feeling of the elastic pulling on their ears, so it may help to fi nd a style that ties behind their head. • Give your child some control back: Often, children refuse to cooperate because they feel like they don’t have a say and they want to demonstrate their independence from you. Giving them options, like the ability to choose their mask, can help increase their sense of control and their likelihood of cooperating.

For kids who attend in-person school, day care or another inperson activity, Children’s Hospital Colorado recommends sending multiple face coverings with them in case any get dirty, lost or damaged.

For example, you could send your child to school with two containers: one marked “clean” and the other marked “dirty.”

A mask should be clean before each day of use. Parents should wash masks using laundry detergent and hot water. A regular dryer cycle is suffi cient, the hospital system’s website says.

“In a pinch, you can hand launder your face coverings. Make sure they’re fully dry before wearing,” the website adds.
