    Description

    If you have the gift of quilting, please consider volunteering!

    We are Hope Health Care, providing superior hospice care to patients in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and Hunt counties.

    We are seeking a few experienced quilters to volunteer making Fidget Lap Blankets for our hospice patients suffering from dementia related diseases.

    You may be asking "What is a Fidget Blanket?" It is a small lap-sized quilt or mat equipped with textured fabrics, zippers, buttons, buckles, and ribbons. Designed as a therapeutic tool, it provides tactile and sensory stimulation to keep restless hands busy, which helps soothe anxiety and boredom in users.

    If you have the gift of creating something like this, and the time to volunteer, we want to hear from you!

    Once you have completed this Interest Form, we will be contacting you shortly with more details.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART TO SERVE!
