craft and fabric donations
 |
Volunteers at Rex do many things in addition to physically working hours at Rex Hospital. There are groups of volunteers who doante their time to craft items and donate craft supplies to assist other artisans. Lois Copeland, master seamstress and Rex volunteer, is the leader of this quiet corp. Copeland organizes the donation and purchase of fabrics, assists in sewing and coordinates the distribution of items throughout the hospital. Last year nearly 13,000 items were hand made for Rex patients. |
Dedicated volunteers work either independently or in a group to sew wonderful items including:
- Knitted and crocheted caps for newborns
- Special bags and pillows for patients
- Stuffed pillows for pediatric patients
- Incubator blankets
- Lap robes
- Drain bags
- Angel bags for holding mementos
If you are interested in supporting this crafty mission, here's how you may help. Donations of yarn and fabric are kindly accepted, however it is requested that materials be in at least yard lengths.
