Community Service

Brandywine Chapter has many compassionate, caring members who don't just 'talk the talk', but actually take action to make a difference where it counts!

Pillowcases for Young Patients

Pillowcases for young patients is the current Community Outreach Project of the Brandywine Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America.  Twenty members have donated material, cut, stitched, washed and ironed, then bagged colorful, happy, printed pillowcases for the children in the Bone Marrow/ Oncology Unit of the Alfred I Du Pont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware.

These terribly sick children may select and keep a friendly, cheery pillowcase of their own to help them through their illness.  The flowers, stripes and patterns brighten their day and help them to know someone cares.  At last count, one hundred pillow cases have been made.
