We need 18" x 18" squares, 36" X 42" lap blankets, 20" x 60" shawls, 12" x 24" rectangles, 4" x 8" rectangles, or 6" squares. For the squares and rectangles, knit two #4 strands of yarn together, or use chunky, #5 or #6 yarn. All finished pieces must be tightly woven as they create bases for our fidget items. Looking for smaller items to donate? We need crochet flowers, curly cues and tissue packs too!
If you don't knit, crochet, sew or quilt, but would like to help our cause, we gratefully accept donations of colouring books, pencil crayons, word search and Suduko books, slippers, and non-slip socks to include in our monthly care packages. All items must be new. If you would like to donate other personal care items, please email us for details.
We would love your lap quilts, walker or wheelchair totes, pocket tissue holders, eyeglass cases, zippered pouches and quilted bases for our fidget mats. Lap blankets should be 36 x 42 inches, and fidget bases should be 18 x 18. There are many free patterns for these items online, but if you have questions, please email us.
