Every year, the LAC+USC Department of Spiritual Care
gives each patient in the hospital a lap robe at Christmas time.
They call it Acts of Kindness and Angel Interfaith Network, St. Camillus Center and other community groups are privileged to be a part of it. Chaplains and volunteers will personally deliver quilts to about 600 patients on December 18th.
Would you or your group like to crochet, knit, sew or quilt
(36" by 48") lap robes for this year distribution?
Call Raquel to arrange delivery to the AIN Gate House office
(323-409-6923).
Contact Martin in the Department of Spiritual Care at
"Any quilts not given that day are used by chaplains throughout the year for palliative care patients and special need situations. Families often take them home in memorial to their loved one who died.
A real blessing."
Pictured is Sherri Hodge of Culver City Presbyterian Church
holding the blankets and quilts she
and her circle of volunteers have made
and the church blessed to be part of the Acts of Kindness.
Those we serve:
Carleen's twin girls
arrived
prematurely. Carleen and her 18-month-old son were already homeless. Their social worker requested two baby baskets and car seats for the twins, and diapers for big brother. The babies had to stay in the hospital several weeks, but now have joined their mother and brother in a shelter. Thanks to our donors and volunteers, Angel Interfaith Network was able to give this mother some much needed support.
Victor
, a patient in the Ortho Clinic, faces permanent disability. He is distraught that he will not be able to provide for his family. He recently applied for disability and his social worker reassured him that Angel Interfaith Network would help him. We were able to provide $200 toward his rent, help with utility bills and some food coupons for his family of five. Victor was relieved and grateful for the assistance.
Men's and women's underwear in all sizes,
but especially the larger sizes up to 2X-3X.
If you shop at
Amazon*, please click on the images above to order, and have them delivered to
Angel Interfaith Network at
1911 Zonal Ave, Los Angeles CA 90033.
We will then be able to distribute fresh underwear to patients leaving the hospital who desperately need it.
