Project: I have always wanted a project that directly blesses seniors but never found an opportunity until now! This year we are going to be making lapghans for seniors at Sentara Hospital's Senior Hospice Care. Lapghans will go to both on-site and in-home care patients.
Project dates: May 1 - October 31, 2014
Project dimensions: a rectangular lapghan (a general size is about 36 inches by 45 inches). Give or take a few inches if your pattern is not exactly those dimensions. Follow your pattern.
Organization Website: http://www.sentara.com/services/hospice-services/Pages/default.aspx (it's pretty detailed so feel free to browse around a few times).
Final word: I understand that lapghans take much longer than our usual smaller projects so I'm not setting a goal just yet. Lapghans are not something you can crank out but each piece will be a source of warmth and comfort for patients during their final days. Feel free to also pray to The Lord for the future recipient's comfort and peace as they approach end of life. Let's make 2014 another meaningful and memorable year as we serve God through our hands. Let's get those hooks, needles and sewing machines going SHOL team!
