    Description

    Make a Difference, One Blanket at a Time

    We are looking for caring volunteers to help create no-sew cut and tie fleece blankets for hospice patients. These handmade blankets provide warmth, comfort, and a reminder that someone is thinking of them during a difficult time.

    How You Can Help:

    • Cut and tie fleece blankets using simple no-sew techniques
    • Work independently from home or gather friends, family, coworkers, church groups, or community organizations to participate
    • Donate completed blankets to be shared with hospice patients in our care

    No Special Skills Required! This is an easy and meaningful project that anyone can do. Instructions can be provided upon request.

    Blanket Guidelines:

    • Twin-size or lap-size fleece blankets accepted
    • Soft, washable fleece fabrics preferred
    • Bright, cheerful, or neutral patterns are welcome

    Your gift of time and compassion helps bring comfort and dignity to patients and their families when they need it most.

    Interested in Participating? Please contact Courtney Callen, Regional HSP Volunteer Coordinator, for additional information, blanket instructions, and donation arrangements.

    Thank you for helping us wrap our patients in warmth, comfort, and care. ❤️
