Sew4Kids is a dedicated service committee of the Children’s Hospital Guild of Manitoba. Our group receives requests from various departments within the Hospital and Foundation, and all completed projects are labeled with "Sew4Kids" before being distributed throughout the facility.
Through the generous contributions of our volunteers, we create handmade items such as blankets, quilts, toys, and clothing, providing love, security, warmth, and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or simply in need of a hug.
The Child Life Department regularly updates us on their current needs or “wish list.” This information is promptly shared with our group via email, allowing interested members to receive further details about ongoing projects, along with fabric and notions whenever possible. Many of our members generously donate from their own fabric "stashes."
Each year, we proudly undertake special projects, including:
- Hand-sewn stockings for newborns during the holiday season, producing 50–60 stockings along with knitted hats and mittens,
- Gala Bear Wear,
- Bear’s Ears for the Teddy Bears' Picnic
Our focus is on completing projects from the comfort of home at your own pace. We can also arrange convenient drop-off and pick-up of completed projects. If you would like to assist with any of these initiatives or know someone who may be interested, please reach out, and we will gladly help you get started!
