DSS Trucking Services Ltd. gifts busy bags to Paediatrics

Thank you so much to DSS Trucking Services Ltd. for their wonderfully generous donation of ‘busy bags‘ to the Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) Foundation for the BCHS Paediatric Department on Jan. 18.

Darren Sheppard, the owner of DSS Trucking Services, has given back to local healthcare since 2013 after his own family’s positive experiences in the Paediatric Department at the BCHS gave them a personal insight into the importance of ‘busy bags’ for our younger hospital patients.

“Someone had donated little baggies full of stuff to keep the children’s mind occupied while in the hospital,” said Darren Sheppard. “These were given to children as soon as they were settled in an assigned room. My family agreed that this was something we were going to donate in the future noticing how much it changed our children’s focus.”

Busy bags have been proven to distract and calm younger patients during their stay in the Paediatric Department, so the Sheppard family and the team at DSS Trucking Services prepared 60 separate, sealed bags containing a stuffed animal, a colouring book and crayons, pencils, a pencil sharpener, an eraser, a scrapbook, a deck of cards, a toothbrush and toothpaste for our youngest patients.

Together, we are transforming healthcare in our community!
