From cjane's blog (this is definitely worth sharing):
In times past, the Pediatric unit received blankets for children who were sick, critically ill or in need, from various good donors. For some reason the blanket donations have stopped--but the need is still very much an issue. This would be a perfect project for a youth group, church group or family service project--to make quilts or pick up new blanket donations for children locally.
Here are the specifics:
We need new quilts of any size, they must be bound around the edges to hold up to intense washing. We will give away quilts to those in need, we also like to put a nice quilt on the beds so that when the patients are admitted, it seems a little more like home.
For those that want to donate what you have...you can take them to the 4th floor (the building with the twirly door and up from the gift shop and snack bar). When you get off the elevator, there are two phones-pick up the one that says Pediatrics and tell the security person you have a blanket donation for Peds.
You can ask for Brenda or Debbie Hema-our Child Life Specialist, or Gena Sorensen-our Department Manager.
