Representatives from the Women’s Ministry of Statesboro First Baptist Church recently dropped off more than 30 hand-tied blankets at Ogeechee Area Hospice. The donations benefit the Blanket Ministry at OAH, which provides every new patient a blanket. “The blankets are treasured by families; it’s something to keep after their loved ones are gone,” said Dr. Linda Upchurch, executive director of OAH. Belinda Nelson, volunteer coordinator at OAH, said she has volunteers that come in regularly to make blankets for patients but the volunteers can barely keep up with the demand.
