Capital Caring’s mission is to provide patients and their families with advanced illness care of the highest quality.
This holiday season, Capital Caring is calling for volunteers to help bring a bit of joy to those in hospice with DIY stockings. After all, sometimes all it takes to turn a bad day around is a small gesture from a stranger.
Help brighten a hospice patient’s day by stuffing a stocking. Some ideas include, but are not limited to:
- wrapped candy
- skid-proof socks
- lotion
- scented soaps
- pens/pencils
- activity books like crossword puzzles and sudokus
- mini flashlights
- short storybooks
- knitted scarves and hats
- and more
