Stitching Angels Ministry Update 2020
-
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Stitching
Angels have not met since March; however, we have not been idle. We sewed over 100 face masks for Home Helpers Home Care, Inc., Friends of Hospice and Hope Place Women’s Rescue Mission. At the request of UPMC
Hillman Cancer Center’s staff, we crocheted comfort bands to attach to their face masks to relieve the pressure on their ears. We gave 17 crocheted prayer shawls to Eastbrook Mission Barn to present to their handicapped clients upon completion of the ramps they build for them.
We provided a dozen Baptismal bibs to our parish and also donated baby blankets, infant hats, an infant sweater and some burp cloths to the recent baby shower held at our parish, St. Camillus site, to benefit Alpha Omega and Catholic Charities.
Many of our members have continued to work on projects at home, dropping off finished items and picking up supplies as needed.
We have a stockpile of blankets, hats and scarves for children and adults, as well as chemo pillows, chemo port pillows, rice packs, walker totes and lap blankets to donate as soon as the agencies we serve are able to
accept our donations.
New members are always welcome as are donations of yarn and fabric.
—Sara Kalata, Coordinator, Stitching Angels
