•Walker bags for joint replacement patients – we’ll need lots of these. We can have 8 patients a week needing a walker bag when they are discharged. Pattern and material available.

•Oncology needs (hats, scarves etc. for cancer patients). We’ll be working on finding patterns. If anyone has a good pattern they would like to share, that would be wonderful!

•All items must be made with new materials. Items with animal hair or smell of cigarette smoke cannot be accepted. Contact: Brenda Draper 509.586.5117
