Project Helping Kindfulness for Kids Event

Project Helping is partnering with The Denver Hospice to make "fidget blankets" for patients with Alzheimer’s. Fidget blankets soothe and calm patients, thereby positively impacting nurses and doctors, as well as family members comforted knowing their loved ones feel more peaceful.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

Project Helping is supplying all the materials, and we’re making fringe-tied blankets. No sewing or special skills are required. As space is limited, make sure to register before participating in this awesome event!
