State of the Heart Seeking Donations

Looking for a way to give back but don't have a lot of time to give? State of the Heart is seeking donations of several different items to make activity mats. What is an activity mat? Activity mats are designed to safely stimulate and soothe people with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, ADD, head trauma, or persons recovering from strokes. Our activity mats are made by volunteers and donated to care facilities and patients. Every mat we make is different, depending on how volunteers customize the mats. We are looking for donations of the following items for our volunteers to make activity mats for some of our patients: zippers, fabric, yarns, buttons, strings of beads and bells, objects to squeeze or stretch, and ribbons. Please drop your donations off to our Darke County Office (1350 N. Broadway). State of the Heart and our patients and families appreciate your generosity! For questions, call 937.548.2999 and ask to speak with Christena.
