SnC Healthcare Nursing Home Charity Patterns
|
Below are some suggested patterns & tags/labels for donations for Stitch n' Chicks Nursing home charity giving. Every year Stitch n' Chicks donates handmade items to a local Long Beach
nursing home in December. Normally we dress in holiday spirt and bring handmade gifts
in gift bags and sing a few carols to the residents. Many of these residents
never have any visitors and enjoy the singing and much needed gifts.
The tags/labels links are to be placed on the items by SnC ONLY. These are copyrighted, so please do not copy nor print out for any use other that for Stitch n' Chicks charity items. Thank you
If you would like to donate your handmade charity gift, please contact
