It is truly a gift to provide comfort to those facing end of life. Heartland Hospice in Buffalo Grove, IL is looking for volunteers to make and donate Fleece No Sew Tie Blankets in the comfort of their own home. We then gift the blankets to our hospice patients. It's like you giving them a warm virtual hug. There is no minimum, just one or as many as you are willing to make will be appreciated. The cost of the material and shipping is the responsibility of the volunteer for which we are very grateful.
