If you are a talented seamstress or get excited about sewing opportunities, this is a great opportunity to share your talents in support of seniors living in residential care.
Our primary goal is to support our residents to live with dignity and comfort, confidently while building self esteem.

Our residents are asking for support to have clothing altered to fit properly (hemming cuffs, waist-bands and even some adaptations for comfort and ease of dressing when abilities are lost or impaired.

This opportunity is new and open for 'shaping' as we go. We suggest, after initial screening and orientation, that a weekly call asking if there are any new items in the pick up location or requests for measurements. Drop by to pick up or visit with and measure the individual. This may be weekly or bi-weekly with a turnaround and return of the item in less than 14 days (so the resident is not left worried or concerned about the items!)

This is a great opportunity to balance personal time with engaging with seniors in care.
