Alice's Embrace is a non-profit organization devoted to providing hand-knit and hand-crocheted prayer shawls and lap blankets to those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Since 2020, we have also been giving our gifts to people who are patients in local hospice organizations; giving them peaceful comfort during their final days.
We seek volunteers to knit and crochet the patterns that we have created. Through the loving hands of many generous and talented people, this endeavor will help warm, comfort, and soothe these dear folks facing the daily challenges of the disease. We have given away more than 10,000 gifts to wonderful people.
Together, we're making a difference.

INVENTORY UPDATE!
Thank you for checking what we might need in terms of colors and sizes. Typically, this is where we include a list of the sizes and colors that are needed, but since we have a good variety items on hand right now, please just work on the colors and sizes that intrigue you. If you’re drawn to them, our recipients will be, too. We have a caregiver conference along with some deliveries lined up so our beautiful goodies will be in the hands of their deserving new owners very soon.
Thank you for always checking here to see what our needs might be.
Please be sure to use our patterns for the items you knit and crochet for us.
The creation of this special society is a small way for us to acknowledge some of our amazing contributors. Each person who knits or crochets at least 15 lap blankets or prayer shawls for Alice's Embrace and each person who gives $500 in monetary donations, or a combination of both, will receive this recognition and the pin shown here.
Our hope with creating The Alice Society is that the members will wear their pins and when asked, they will happily engage in conversations about what we do here at Alice's Embrace... since the pin is an eye-catcher, they will be asked. As our donors qualify for The Alice Society, we will put the unique pin into the mail.
Alice’s Embrace has received items from every single state in the country. What a beautiful map… every single state filled in with the shade that represents an item has come in. Together, we are helping bring warmth and comfort to so many deserving people.
Nearly every day, lap blankets and prayer shawls arrive in the mail for our recipients. We always share photos of these beauties on our Facebook page.
Enjoy some of those fun shots right here.
