Handmade with Heart: Sewing Volunteers Wanted

Do You Have Extra Fabric You Don’t Know What to Do With? Put It to Meaningful Use!

Alzheimer’s Family Center is urgently seeking volunteers who can sew to help create adult bibs for our patients. If you have extra fabric tucked away at home, we would love to help you turn it into something truly impactful.

Our patients attend daily programming, and many require protective bibs during meals. These bibs help preserve dignity, comfort, and cleanliness while allowing our patients to enjoy meals with greater ease. Due to high daily use and frequent laundering, we are in constant need of replacements.

We are looking for volunteers who:

• Have basic sewing skills
• Can create durable, washable adult-sized bibs
• Are interested in volunteer opportunities they can do from home

We are happy to provide pattern guidance, sizing details, and fabric specifications. Finished bibs can be dropped off at the Center.

Your time, talent, and even your extra fabric will directly support older adults living with dementia and help make everyday moments more comfortable and respectful.

If you are interested in helping or would like more information, please contact us at volunteers@afscenter.org or (714) 593-9630.
