DO YOU CroCHET OR KNIT? VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Q: I’m ready to make baby blankets to donate to Rachel's Gift. How do I begin?
A: We are in constant need of handmade baby blankets - either knitted or crocheted. You are welcome to knit/crochet at your own pace. We do not require you to complete a minimum number each month. We offer a baby blanket in each of our keepsake boxes available at our collaborating hospitals, serving more than 700 families in 2017. We anticipate a need for at least 1,000 blankets in 2018. However many you are willing to donate, we will gratefully accept!

Blankets donated so far this year:
We ask that you please follow our blanket guidelines as outlined below.
BLANKET SIZE
Blanket sizes do not have to be exact, but 21" x 21" is perfect. If you are having trouble scaling down a beloved pattern, no bigger than 25" x 25".
BLANKET COLOR
Pale blues, pinks, and purples, either by themselves or mixed with white. Mixed pastels that include pink or blue. Baby yarn is preferred for its softness.
Once you have a batch of blankets ready, you can mail them to us or drop them off at our office.
