Threads of Compassion Program

yarn heartOffered at a time when there are no words to say, Indiana Donor Network’s Threads of Compassion program provides comfort shawls to donor families at the time of their loved one’s donation. The shawls are knitted and crocheted by volunteers across Indiana who give their time to create beautiful, handmade gifts for families as loving remembrances. The hope is that the shawls will bring families comfort in their time of sorrow and transition.

For more information about participating in Threads of Compassion by making shawls, fill out the form below or email our team at threads@INDonorNetwork.org.
