As we seek to expand our services, we find Rachel's Gift is in need of compassionate individuals who share our desire to support bereaved families. You can help continue our programs through volunteerism. We served more than 700 families in 2017, and anticipate that we will serve nearly 1,000 in 2018. 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
On the first Tuesday of each month, volunteers gather for Volunteer Day at our office in McDonough, Georgia to help with various needs between noon and 4:00pm. Activities usually include: organizing donations received, making boxes for hospitals, preparing nurse training materials, preparing for events, and more. Teens are welcome to join us to add to their service and outreach hours.

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 offer volunteer opportunities you might be interested in.

CROCHET OR KNIT
As part of our Keepsake Box Program, we accept donated handmade baby blankets. Our boxes are available at our collaborating hospitals and are offered to parents when they experience the loss of a baby due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, birth defects, stillbirth, SIDS, or other causes. We anticipate that we will serve nearly 1,000 families in 2018. We find ourselves in constant need of baby blankets. If you are interested in participating in this program, all we ask is that you follow the size and color guidelines posted here.
SEW
As part of our Wedding to Burial Gown Program, we accept donated wedding gowns that volunteers transform 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 visit this page for guidelines and our preferred (simple!) patterns.
