This is a time to build friendships, encourage and learn from one another, and bless our local community. No experience? No problem. We would still love for you to join us and participate in any way you can.
Who knows? You may even pick up a new hobby.

What We Do
Currently, our crafters are working on making items for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes, Joanne’s House, and the troops overseas.
Below are a few projects they are continually working on to bless our local community.
Post Surgical Pillows
These small pillows are handmade and then delivered to Health Park Hospital at no cost to them. The pillows are given to patients after surgery, such as Caesarean Sections and Mastectomys, to assist in the recovery process.
Throw Fleece Blankets
These blankets range in size to fit patients, ages birth to early 20s, in the pediatric oncology unit of Health Park Hospital. These blankets provide warmth while in the hospital and then are given to the patients when they leave to continue to provide warmth wherever life takes them.
Felt Hearts
The felt hearts we make are for the NICU at Health Park Hospital. Each mother receives two hearts and she constantly rotates them from lying on her chest to laying under her baby in the incubator. This process allows the baby to become familiar with their mother’s scent and to bond with them.
