Care Wear Volunteers
Barbara Heran and the Care Ware Volunteers make all manner of items for hospital patients as well as for social service agencies and nursing homes. Some of the things they make are hats for preemies, newborns, children, teens, and adults, winter items such as mittens and scarves, blankets and quilts for preemies and families in need, tote bags, shawls, and hats for chemo patients, and toys for children in the ER. Approximately 37 items are made every other month.
“Besides a creative outlet, my toys calm and distract young patients in the ER and hospital labs. It is good to help those in need” explained Barbara.
