The Giving Doll

They began their group in late November 2015. They started with about 30 names on their roster and now are up to 45. They meet twice a month with approximately 18 to 20 ladies at each meeting. They make a copyrighted cloth doll, both boy and girl. Each doll has a blanket and a bag. The dolls have a tag on them that says…..”My name is (they fill in a name). I was made to give you joy, peace, faith, love and hope at this special time.”

Their dolls are donated to Homeless Shelters, Domestic Violence Shelters, DCF, Police, Ambulances, Fire Department in local and surrounding communities. They also donate to Ronald McDonald House, Yale Smiloh Children’s Hospital, Hartford Children’s Hospital, Waterbury Hospital ER, Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Camp in Ashford, CT.

Patricia Dunton expressed “They do this to bring some joy and happiness into the lives of children and to put a smile on their face and give them something to love when they are going through difficult times.”
