OPERATION "FIDGET"
Did you know that touching items of different textures and shapes can help ease some of the symptoms of dementia? Inmates at the Indiana Women’s Prison are making “Memory Blankets” that incorporate these items. These blankets are then given to individuals with dementia, some of whom live right here in Franklin. To aid in their efforts, we are collecting “fidget” items to be added to the blankets. In particular, they are in need of zippers, Velcro, elastic, buckles, snaps, bells, and toy keys (think baby toys) or other small items that could be sewn onto a blanket. Please place any contributions in the tote on the stage in Price Hall. Questions? Contact Beth Stillabower at bethstillabower@franklingrace.org.
