Coastal Hospice is asking the community for donations of patriotic-themed lap blankets for our veteran patients. In this photo, Navy veteran and Coastal Hospice patient Charles “Dick” Rohm of Powellville smiles under a fleece flag-themed blanket we brought to his home.
We plan to start giving these blankets to veteran patients in the four Lower Shore counties on Nov. 11, Veteran’s Day. We will continue to use them throughout the year as veterans enter our care, making every day Veterans’s Day for our veteran patients.
Red/white/blue designs, stars and stripes, etc. are some suggested themes. Most appropriate are knitted, crocheted, quilted or fleece lap blankets. The blankets must be new, and can be either handmade or purchased. The ideal size is approximately 36x42 inches. There is also a continuing need for non-patriotic blankets for hospice patients.
Donations are being accepted during regular business hours at the Coastal Hospice main office at 2604 Old Ocean City Road in Salisbury or at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean at 10441 Racetrack Road, Taylorville Center, in Berlin.
More information is available from Elaine Bean, Coastal Hospice community relations manager, at 410-742-8732.
Thank you for your generosity!
