Calling All Knitters & Crocheters!

Do you enjoy knitting or crocheting and want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and children?

Volunteer Services at Froedtert West Bend Hospital and Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital is seeking community volunteers who can help create:

Fidget Sleeves – Soft, textured sleeves that fit over IV tubing or medical equipment and provide comfort, sensory stimulation, and distraction for patients.

Your handmade creations can provide comfort, reduce anxiety, and help patients and families navigate healthcare experiences with greater confidence and ease.

Whether you're an experienced crafter or part of a knitting/crocheting group, your time and talent can have a lasting impact.
