Do you love to knit, crochet or quilt? Would you love to use your talents to help others?
We are in need of a loving soul to crochet, quilt or knit lap blankets for our hospice patients.
The basic measurement is 30 inches square (great size for a wheelchair blanket), however, we are not picky!
We are also looking to obtain lap blankets with Patriotic colors to give to our Veteran patients and fidget blankets for our patients with dementia.
On your own time, you can create whichever style blanket you would like, and drop off at our Westmont office whenever convenient for you. No hospice training required for this volunteer role.
Patients love to receive these warm and cozy hand made gifts, so come share your talents with us.

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to improve your health and well-being.
Description
Heartland Hospice volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers include:
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
These and other tasks are why hospice volunteers are such an essential part of the Heartland experience.
