Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
~ 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

One of the most critical components of Eli's Hope is our volunteer base. There are many opportunities to serve, including filling gift bags, working at outreach events, and helping with fundraisers. If you are interested in volunteering with one of our current chapters, please Contact Us. You can also take a look at our Calendar to see what events are scheduled, and click here to find out what hospitals we are already serving in.
We have a continual opportunity for volunteers to help us fill our gift bags with some very special, handmade items.*** If you like to sew, knit, or crochet, this opportunity is for you! We like to include preemie-sized infant hats in our NICU Support Gift Bags. In addition, our Bereavement Gift Bags include a special diaper memento -- the pattern can be found by visiting the Teeny Tears website. Below are some additional websites with free patterns for preemie hats, burial gowns, blankets, etc. We accept any of these items at any time, so that we will have them available when needed. Homemade items are a labor of love, and will mean a lot to NICU families.

***All donations must be newly made and come from a smoke-free home. We ask that donations from pet-friendly homes be placed in plastic zip-up bags to keep pet hair from getting on the items.
