Patriotic Quilts, Afghans, or Blankets for a Veteran's "Final Salute"
ORGANIZATION: Homestead Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
Volunteers are needed throughout the Upstate area to quilt or crochet patriotic quilts, afghans or blankets for the "Final Salute" of Veterans. One out of every four dying Americans is a Veteran. When the Veterans pass, the patriotic quilts, afghans, or blankets are draped over the gurney as a Final Salute. As they are transported, family or anyone can offer a final salute or place their hand over their heart to show their appreciation. Please contact Melissa at (864) 304-6904.
