SIGN UP
  • Use your crafting skills to bring warmth, comfort, and joy to hospice patients and their families. Our Crafting for Comfort Volunteers create beautiful handmade items that offer a personal touch of care to those we serve. Every card and creation reminds our patients that they are loved and remembered. You can help bring a smile to a someone's face by creating a cute little origami pet for them!

    Here are some videos with instructions, or you can search YouTube to find other patterns:

    🐢 Origami Dog -> https://youtu.be/GFTBGnSz704
    🐱 Origami Cat -> https://youtu.be/uqB3zMJXG28

    Create 2 pets, give them each a name and include a short note or card with each pet introducing it to its new owner and wishing them well. Please DO NOT say "get well soon" in your message, stick with "thinking of you", "sending smiles", etc.. Sign the cards with your first name and state - ie. Sophia from Little Rock, AR.
