    Description

    Crafter and Seamstresses Needed for Hospice!

    Elara Caring, one of the nation’s largest providers of home-based care, is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to local hospice patients and their families.

    We are looking for individuals and groups to donate items for patients.

    Can you craft? We are looking for donations of generic birthday cards that can be given to our Hospice patients on their birthdays. We also accept donations of craft kits that a volunteer could work on with a patient during a companionship visit.

    Can you knit or sew? Our patients could use any of the following: lap blankets, neck pillows, wheelchair or walker caddies, catheter bags and hands pillows.

    Share your artistic craft today.
