Ways To Help
​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.
In giving of your time and yourself, you can assist in impacting the lives of the families we serve through several different areas of service.

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.

Volunteer at our Events
We host annual events to benefit Rachel's Gift. We could always use extra helping hands to ensure things run smoothly and attendees enjoy themselves. ​Our annual Angel Dash 5K is held every October and is our biggest event. Visit our Upcoming Events page to see which events you might be interested in helping.
Photography/ Videography
Rachel's Gift would like to utilize your photography or videography talents at our events. Any materials you provide us will be used for marketing purposes and may be posted on our website and social media pages. If you would like to volunteer your talents at one of our upcoming events, please email us at info@rachelsgift.org.
Donate Handmade Gifts
Knit or Crochet Baby Blankets
Knitting and crocheting volunteers play a vital role in bringing compassion and support to bereaved moms and families. Blankets donated to Rachel’s Gift are gifted directly at the bedsides of grieving mothers. Your handmade blankets will forever be treasured keepsakes to parents whose children were in their arms for only a matter of moments. Frequently asked questions on specifications are at the bottom of this page. Thank you!

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. If you are interested in participating, please see below our guidelines and our preferred (simple!) patterns.
