Helping Hands is a Central Baptist Ministry whose members meet monthly to make special pads for those being cared for by Heart of Georgia Hospice. Used, clean donated sheets are trimmed of all seams, elastic or decorative trim and then cut to be layered and hand-sewn to regular hospital medical pads to provide a more comfortable and much softer surface against the skin during care. Once finished, the pads are bagged in bundles of 12 with a card of encouragement. Our volunteers average 12 dozen bundles of pads at each monthly meeting. Work areas are set up in stations for each phase of the process and provides wonderful fellowship for all involved. YOU can help by joining us — we LOVE having new volunteers! — or by donating clean, used sheets. Helping Hands meets in
Room 269/270 from
1-3 pm on the 1st Monday of each month, unless it's a holiday — and then we will meet on the following Monday.
No meeting in December. If you would like more information, please call Katty Adkins at
