Ways To Help
Sew, knit, or crochet bereavement items.
There are many sites for free patterns including Bev’s Country Cottage and CareWear. Click Here to see the patterns that are most popular with our volunteers. We are currently donating to several hospitals in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, and Texas. We also do our best to fill urgent needs from hospitals around the country. Donations can be mailed to: Emmazing Grace Foundation, 4815 Tabby Stone Drive, Cumming, GA 30028.
Make a memory box.
Memory Boxes are requested often. They are a special place for families to hold their treasured keepsakes.
Donate supplies.
Yarn, fabric, gift cards, disposable cameras, or small stuffed animals are always needed. The yarn and fabric will be distributed to our many volunteers that will use your donation to make lovely bereavement and NICU items for those in need. Disposable cameras and stuffed animals will be included in our memory boxes.

I do not have many requirements for donating, but there are a couple of things that truly are a must:
1. All items need to be clean. If you smoke or have pets in the home, please make sure that the items are odor/pet hair free. The hospitals do not have time to launder them. I have heard of stories where hospitals throw things away when they do not meet these requirements.
2. If you make a donation directly to a hospital, please photograph the donation and make a list of the items donated. I need this as proof for tax-exempt status.
3. Please tag each item. Click here to download Donation Tags.
4. Packaging them in the zipper bags would also help. I package everything prior to shipping them out as this is an easy way for each hospital to kept the items clean and dust free prior to usage.
5. If you know the size of the items, labeling them appropriately helps out greatly too. This way, the nurses do not have to search through and open each bag.
