Volunteer: Fleece Donation for Baby BlanketsHave any unused fleece that you no longer need? We are accepting donation of fleece to be used to create homemade baby blankets for sick or premature babies in the hospital. They will be donated to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or PICU/Emergency room where needed. Social workers and nursing staff assist in the delivery to families needing this gift of comfort. The fleece will be cut down into 1 yard increments, so please avoid any 1/2 yard pieces. For each yard of fabric, we are able to create one baby blanket. We prefer to use both a pattern and a coordinating solid fleece to create the blankets. In this case, 1 yard of a pattern with 1 yard of a coordinating solid would create 2 dual-sided baby blankets. However, we are open to taking any donated fleece and matching it to a pattern or solid that we have in stock. We love neutral solids (greys, whites, navy, black), but can use all colors. For the patterned fleece, please select options that would work well for a baby's blanket. We run the charity operations/blanket parties on evenings and weekends out of our home, so you can drop any fleece to our home address at: 945 Douglas Ave in Naperville, IL 60540. Please feel free to leave it on the front porch in a plastic bag to keep it safe from the weather. Going shopping for the fabric is a fun activity. We hope that you enjoy picking out the fabric and remember to check for store coupons if available. Please know how special this fabric will be when turned into a cozy and comforting blanket for babies (and their families) in the hospital. Questions? Email lauren@camdenscomfort.org or call 309-868-9022 **If you would like to receive a receipt to be used for charitable giving on your taxes, please complete the attached in-kind donation form to estimate the total value of your donated fleece.
