Kate's Kart is Always Growing
Kate's Kart is always looking at ways to be more effective in reaching every child that enters the hospital. Most of our Karts are housed in Emergency Rooms as a resource for nurses and hospital staff to give books to kids as they enter the hospital. We also have Karts located on Pediatric floors, Pediatric ICUs, and NICUs, where volunteers deliver books to each child and family. We are also adding Karts to clinics and surgical areas, as well as new hospitals in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. Check back often to watch us grow in number of Karts, hospitals served and kids reached.

It’s just incredible to see the growth of Kate’s Kart over the years. Each year, we are getting more effective at reaching each and every hospitalized child in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. We are so grateful to each and every volunteer, nurse and hospital staff member who helps get every book into the hands of children.
