Handicraft Volunteers: Knitting, Crochet, and Quilting
A great way to share your time and talents (from home!) by creating colorful quilts, lap blankets and prayer shawls for the comfort of hospice patients during their time at Hopewell House. Patients will be offered a quilt of their choice, handmade by generous and creative community members who have donated their time, talents and materials. Each quilt will remain with the patient during their care and their family will be invited to take the quilt home with them upon the patient’s death. Knitted (or crocheted) lap blankets, prayer shawls, beanies and slippers will be offered as a gift to patients and family members as well.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to brighten the day of those we will never meet! And, for passing along this information to others that may have an interest in getting involved.
