Knit and Crochet for Amedisys Hospice Care - Global

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Project

Event details: March 1-April 30, 2024 | DIY

Learn more: Amedisys Hospice Care needed volunteers to make comfort items for hospice patients in Morgantown, West Virginia. Ideas for items included prayer shawls, small plushies, lap blankets, caps and beanies, scarves, etc. Volunteers supplied their own yarn and tools, and paid any necessary mailing costs. 

Examples of comfort items: knit or crocheted lap blankets, scarves, hats, small plushies (amigurumi, teddy bears), crocheted hearts, etc. The Knit and Crochet for Emily's Place project pulled together some helpful tutorials and resources if you're looking for inspiration.

Finished pieces were mailed or dropped of to:
