Hospice Baking
One of many ways bakers enjoy helping us is through special occassion baking.
Volunteers who elect to bake birthday or anniversary cakes have the honor of brightening a special day for patients and families. Often, the family does not have the time or resources to provide a cake for the patient, so this service helps alleviate pressure for the family as well.

Patients use a variety of items sewn and knitted by volunteers in the community. These homemade items offer comfort to patients and assistance to nursing staff. Individuals and/or groups are welcome to sew or knit a variety of items.
Items Needed:
