Opportunities to Serve

Ursuline Blanket Making Drive

An Ursuline junior is spearheading an opportunity for students to make blankets for people in their designated class service areas: the elderly (8th), children (9th), those with special needs (10th), and the homeless (11th).

Blankets are the most asked for items in homeless shelters, nursing homes, and children's hospitals. People use blankets not only for warmth, but for a sense of protection. This hands-on experience allows our Ursuline girls to participate in their community service project while earning service hours. Click here for details.

We are currently accepting the following supplies for our Ursuline girls: knitting needles, crochet needles, embroidery materials, sewing materials, yarn, etc. Please mail in or drop off with the receptionist at Date Door.
