Hands-on Day for Our Neighbors in Haiti

Sunday, February 7th
9:00am-2:00pm
Perma Seal, 513 Rogers, Downers Grove

Thank you to all who RSVP’d – all our Volunteer spots all filled!

We called out to all of you for sheets and pillowcases – and your loving donations are flowing in.  Thank you and keep them coming!  This project is in support of our neighbor, John Shattuck, who serves on the board for Friends of the Orphans and travels to Haiti regularly to personally transport much needed supplies.  Because many of the sheets must be cut down to various sizes before he can deliver them to St. Damien’s Hospital outside of Port au Prince, Haiti, we call out to you once more.  This time we need your hands.

We will cut sheets down to specific sizes for tourniquets needed in the hospital.

We will also cut sheets down to specific sizes for palls needed for burials and we will adorn these with religious and inspirational markings and glued on “fabric art”.

We will press and reverently fold our “hands-on” work and pack them according to shipping guidelines to ensure safe delivery to Haiti.

Please bring your own scissors, permanent markers (Sharpies work well – and they come in assorted colors), craft glue, craft paints, craft trim, and appropriate embellishments.

We will supply additional craft glue, paints, fabric scraps for “glue on art”, markers and various embellishments.  Water and snacks will be provided.
