Donations needed for urgent requests! U can help!
ByRelief Share been very blessed this year with donations of sewing machines and sergers for our charity to make the essential items needed for the hospital and other places we donate to. Our very special sewing angel donor has been going above and beyond as God’s special angel making sure our volunteers have machines and supplies to work with.
Relief Share is a 501(c ) 3 charity so anyone who wants a tax deductible receipt for what they send just needs to put their name and address in the box and we will get a thank you letter with tax paper sent right out.
What is needed:
- QUILTING fabric for the twin size quilts for Shriners Childrens Hospital. Kids print is wonderful, solid colors and patterns off all kinds is super – we patchwork all the fabric together to make interesting and warm quilts. These quilts stay on the beds at the hospital for patients.
- BATTING for the quilts – they are twin size. We have 64 twin size quilts left to go out of the 240 requested.
- PUL fabric for diaper covers for children in body casts. PUL is a laminated fabric that you can learn more about at www.wahmsupply.com
- Thread – all colors all kinds – we go through this like water.
- YARN – our volunteers use every little scrap. If you have been working on projects and have snips and tails left – we’d love these along with balls of yarn you may not need anymore. The fun yarn, like eyelash, feather or chenille is great to mix in with acrylic, wool or any kind or color. The scrap afghans are a huge favorite of the children in hospital.
- Binding – for the bibs we do for the babies and terry for the backs, cotton for the fronts. We have children who have hyperemesis and go through a ton of bibs each day.
- PLASTIC SNAPS for the snap machine. You can see what we need at www.kamsnaps.com – we use size 20. Colors are great, white is wonderful, too.
- PATTERNS – for crochet, knitting and sewing. Our volunteers love the crafting patterns – tote bags, baby items, clothing of all kinds, baby clothing.
As you can see, most of what we are asking for is craft and sewing type items. We do have a need for items for the office. Things like post it notes, toilet paper, clear box tape, and mostly stamps for postage are very much needed as there just isn’t any extra money going around to buy them. We bring what we can from home, but I have cleaned out the last of my office supplies and paper to take. We have donated space for the office so don’t have to pay rent or electricity but things like toilet paper and paper towels are really very much appreciated LOL
