"VOLUNTEERS SURVIVAL KIT "

TOOTHPICK so you won't be too picky
LOLLIPOP to help you lick your problems (or lick your wounds)
RUBBER BAND to help you be flexible
PAPER CLIP so you can hold it all together
STRING so you can tie up loose ends
PIN to help you pinpoint the real problems
PENNY to remind you that you are a valuable asset.

Get some little ziploc bags - place contents inside, along with a piece of paper the size of the bag with either a classroom scene or red heart or some other little clip art at the top - to symbolize their giving heart.
