​Join our community of volunteers to help bring
compassion and support to bereaved parents.

As we continue to expand and offer our services in more hospitals, we find Rachel's Gift is in need of compassionate individuals who share our desire to support bereaved families.

Volunteers

Monthly Volunteer Day

​On the first Tuesday of each month, volunteers gather at our office in McDonough, Georgia to help with various needs between 9:00am and 3:00pm. If this time is not convenient for you, email info@rachelsgift.org to schedule a time that is!
Activities usually include: organizing donations received, making boxes for hospitals, preparing nurse training materials, preparing miscarriage cards for Emergency Departments / Surgical Centers, and preparing for special events. Nursing students are welcome to join us to add to their service and outreach hours.

Sew Burial Gowns

​As part of our Burial Gown Program, our volunteers transform donated materials into burial gowns for angel babies. We are currently in need of more volunteer seamstresses or tailors to make the program a reality.
