Community Service

Get Involved! Help make a Difference!

We have 4 opportunities to serve our community this year.

1. Warmth and Comfort for the Elderly (WCFE) are looking for items such as:

  • Wheelchair or lap quilts (36”-39” wide and 42” long)
  • Quilted hugs
  • Dignity bibs/scarves
  • Walker or wheelchair bags

 

2.  Children’s quilts for the Pickens County Sheriff’s Department (Infant to Teen size)

3.  Preemies of the Carolinas – They can use flannel blankets size 20” x 20” up to 34” x34”. All donations to them need to be washed. Because the flannel shrinks, it is best to wash the flannel before making the blankets.

4. Bereavement blankets for still born babies. These need to be 18” x 18”.          (At the time they have a good supply of these blankets.)

Precut batting is available at the meetings. They are 45” x 45”. Contact Kay McKinney if you need a different size of batting.
